A jail is a chroot'd environment whereby the processes running with it are restricted in what resources (primarily files/directories, but also sockets and such) they will be able to see. Anything outside of the virtual root of the jail is not only inaccessable, but won't even appear to exist to processes running inside the jail. Examples you'll probably recognize are the "sandbox" people often run BIND in, or the FTP anonymous root directory. --K To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
