Run the FreeBSD OpenSSH in a jail. If you run a complete Linux distribution in a FreeBSD jail you get the advantage of having multiple virtual machines running FreeBSD and Linux on the same machine. With this capability you can give your customer a virtual Linux box with a virtual IP, and you can give him the ability to upgrade and maintain his own "box" in the way he likes. Of course I could install a FreeBSD OpenSSH but this would require FreeBSD libraries, config files, etc in a Linux jail. How would the customer update that daemon? With a Linux distrib in the jail it is very easy and convenient. That's why I (and many others) would be glad to run a Linux OpenSSH (and of course not just that) daemon in a FreeBSD jail. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Attila Nagy e-mail: Attila.Nagy@fsn.hu Budapest Polytechnic (BMF.HU) @work: +361 210 1415 (194) H-1084 Budapest, Tavaszmezo u. 15-17. cell.: +3630 306 6758 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
