Prompted from a question about MySQL server security best practices, I've been running through this list (with a few minor alterations) to properly secure my server database server:

On step 10, I'm told to change the root directory for the mysql user using chroot, but very few specifics are provided and I'm not sure where to start. Does anyone know of a good resource for walking me through the steps to properly create a chrooted environment for Ubuntu 10.10?
