(Tidied up so all now bottom posted)

I can confirm that you shouldn't be seeing this behaviour because I 
don't. I don't use EzJail - i prefer "vi". Seriously, setting up a jail 
is very straightforward anyway, and when I tried ezjail I found it was 
doing stuff I didn't like, so dropped it early on. It was a long time 
ago and I've forgotten the specifics.

I guess if you're using it your new to this particular game, so please 
excuse me pointing out a few basics here.

Although I can't exactly see how this would cause a problem, remember 
that many service will bind to ALL IP addresses when they start up, and 
if they pinch a port any subsequent jail trying to take the same one 
will fail. For SSH, edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the "host OS" and set 
the ListenAddress to the one you want to use instead of the default, 
which means all of them.

I can't see a mechanism that would get the results you're seeing, but I 
don't know what ezjail might be doing. I suspect your problem is with 
ezjail or something bizzare on your network config; can you try it manually?

Regards, Frank.
