It has a NULL MAC address (00:00:00:00:00:00). Good luck communicating o= n the Internet (remember, we disabled setautosrc -- we intend to make up a = MAC address that is unique). 2.

But=85 First we need a vimage jail. (this is not a tutorial on how to create, mana= ge, build, or do anything else with jails, vimage-jails, or vps-jails *othe= r* than give it a netgraph based interface) I'm going to use my existing base machine as a fake jail (by pointing my ja= il's rootdir at "/"). NOTE: Certain sysctl's have to be set appropriately before you fire up the = jail to make this vimage jail able to do "more" on the net. dteske@scu0a.jbsd.vicor.com ~ $ sudo sy= sctl security.jail.set_hostname_allowed=3D1 security.jail.sysvipc_allowed= =3D1 security.jail.socket_unixiproute_only=3D1 security.jail.set_hostname_allowed: 1 -> 1 security.jail.sysvipc_allowed: 1 -> 1 security.jail.socket_unixiproute_only: 0 -> 1 NOTE: Unless you intend to reboot to restore the defaults later=85 you migh= t want to take down those previous values for restoration *after* we fire u= p the "vimage" jail. dteske@scu0a.jbsd.vicor.com ~ $ sudo ja= il -i -c vnet name=3Dmyjail host.hostname=3Dmyjail path=3D/ persist 1 dteske@scu0a.jbsd.vicor.com ~ $ jls JID IP Address Hostname Path 1 - myjail / OK=85 we have a running jail (with the vnet property, making it a "vimage" = jail -- which can accept network interfaces). =3D=3D=3D Right now our jail has no network interfaces (well, it has an unconfigured = lo0). dteske@scu0a.jbsd.vicor.com ~ $ sudo je= xec myjail ifconfig lo0: flags=3D8008 metric 0 mtu 16384 options=3D3 So let's pass the netgraph created interface into the jail=85 dteske@scu0a.jbsd.vicor.com ~ $ sudo if= config ng0_myjail vnet 1 dteske@scu0a.jbsd.vicor.com ~ $ sudo je= xec myjail ifconfig lo0: flags=3D8008 metric 0 mtu 16384 options=3D3 ng0_myjail: flags=3D8802 metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 02:00:2c:ab:1b:76 Sweet! =3D=3D=3D Almost there=85 Let's go into /etc/rc.conf, give it an IP, and start the network=85 dteske@scu0a.jbsd.vicor.com ~ $ sudo sy= src ifconfig_ng0_myjail=3D"inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" /etc/rc.conf: ifconfig_ng0_myjail: -> inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255= .0 dteske@scu0a.jbsd.vicor.com ~ $ grep ng= 0 /etc/rc.conf ifconfig_ng0_myjail=3D"inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" dteske@scu0a.jbsd.vicor.com ~ $ sudo je= xec myjail service netif start Starting Network: lo0 ng0_myjail. lo0: flags=3D8049 metric 0 mtu 16384 options=3D3 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 ng0_myjail: flags=3D8843 metric 0 m= tu 1500 ether 02:00:2c:ab:1b:76 inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 Now we're cookin' with gasoline! =3D=3D=3D Optionally go configure your base machine with an IP and have fun. -- Devin _____________ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidentia= l.
