List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 09 Oct 2010 20:38:49 -0000 This is a followup to my thread "linux-only jail possible?" of a few months ago. I've been pretty successful in my efforts and now have a jail which contains only CentOS binaries and runs Python, Apache, sshd, PostgreSQL, yum, rpm, etc without problems. Since that's what I plan to use for my current project I haven't tested much else but I expect good results from many other common programs and use cases. I have documented my notes on the FreeBSD wiki. Thanks to bz@ for getting me access. Please look it over and give it a try if you have any interest: http://wiki.freebsd.org/Image/Linux/CentOS55 Please let me know if you encounter anything inaccurate or incomplete in the howto, or if you have comments or additional information about it. Please trim the CC: list on replies. Thanks! JN
