I thank everyone for their suggestions, and I think I will go with null mounts, since it will in fact be read-only. I'd like to add that I think a completion of mount_null (and taking out the fright from the bottom of the man page :) would be greatly appreciated, since the functionality it provides is very valuable to running jails. I'm also looking forward to the next "version" of jail implementation! Thanks again all and keep up the excellent work, ===== Hans Zaunere New York PHP http://nyphp.org hans@nyphp.org __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
