I'm looking into using jail for dns, mail and web servers. I see from various documentation how to set it up, but not much about how things go over time. Have any of you out there found jails to be more trouble than they are worth? How does it go with tracking stable and installing ports inside the jail? Is it best to have /usr/src, /usr/obj and /usr/ports all set up inside the jail or can one update/install from host to jail for most everything? I sense that things will be simpler and smaller to make fewer rather than many jails per machine, although it will be tempting to set up a jail for java users, one for zope users, one for php users, etc. Does ProFTPd work within a jail. I've had good luck with it in the past and haven't found anything yet that can give me equal access control. Wouldn't mind suggestions on this. Any other issues that I should be aware of before I make the leap? Albert To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
