   The Debian maintainers acknowledge that this control enhances system's
   security. The command line options introduced make it possible for users
   to enable this behaviour. In order to run OSSEC in a chroot environment 
-  the system administrator needs to first setup a chroot (manually or
-  using the 'makejail' program) for OSSEC and configure (in the ossec-init.conf
-  file) the location of the chroot directory.
+  the system administrator needs to first setup a chroot for OSSEC and
+  configure (in the ossec-init.conf file) the location of the chroot directory.
 
   To setup the chroot you can use /var/ossec as a basis, but remember to
   change the symbolic links with the actual files/directories they point to.
 
+  The Debian maintainers provide two scripts that can be used to create and
+  setup the chroot. These script are:
+
+    - /usr/lib/ossec/ossec-hids-create-chroot: Creates a chroot using the
+       contents distributed in the package, copying /var/ossec and replacing
+       symlinks with the actual files. By default it is created under
+       /var/chroot/ossec
+
+    - /usr/lib/ossec/ossec-hids-update-chroot: Updates a chroot using the
+       contents distributed in the package.
+
+  To setup the chroot using these scripts you need to
+
+    1.- Run /usr/lib/ossec/ossec-hids-create-chroot
+    2.- Edit /etc/ossec-init.conf and change DIRECTORY to /var/chroot/ossec
+ 
+  When the package is upgraded you have to run the /usr/lib/ossec/ossec-hids-update-chroot
+  manually to update the binaries in the chroot
