- adamgordonbell 4y agoWikipedia does say Bill Joy wrote chroot, but the unix history in the article says that it was DMR or Ken Thompson depending on which file you look at and chroot is listed in the V7 manual. So I think it predates the BSD Kernel.
- jlokier 4y agoThe BSD kernel is actually older then Unix V7, so it could plausibly have been added to BSD first.
