What am I trying to do?
I'm writing a code evaluator using chroot and python and went to hackerrank for some inspiration.
What I think is happening at Hackerrank?
Hackerrank creates run-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX folder for every run of a user program submission, each of these folders has a unique owner and only it's owner has read/write access to it. This means that a particular user 15307 cannot read/modify the contents of the other folders present.
Coming to the question
How would someone go about implementing this using chroot and python or any other language for that matter? Is it creating a user everytime?
