Re the "Handbook" and the comment "though it may be a bit out of date". Sadly, it's the "a bit out of date" parts, that stump me each time, so that's one of the major reasons why I find the "Handbook" so difficult to get on with. I guess as those people who use jails and such don't need to reference the Handbook, it doesn't keep up to speed with the releases in the real world? (Of course, that NEVER happens in other walks of life, does it! :) ) Anyway... I've spent some time on and off, reading up on all this, as a result I am at present veering towards qjail, as for whatever reason, I do find the doc's easier to follow and understand. (Remember, I'm not from a Unix background. I ar just a lowley engineering technician, who want's to do something safe(er) with a webserver for a hobby site.) As well as qjail though, I've also got an indipendant VM setup to use ezjail, so I'll experiment with both and see what happens. As always however, I find it difficult these days to get "enough of the right sort of contiguious time" to fiddle and learn about all this stuff, what with daily life, work + domestic and other social time swallowers. Slow progress, but progress none the less. Cheers All. Dave B.
