However, they're hierarchical, and there's one that is there when the box starts up, and can't be gotten rid of. If there weren't a "real" hostname, there would never be a place in the code where you don't have a better choice than using thread0's credential. > I wouldn't do it for all variables however.. Quite true. I suspect that most variables replaced by vnet always have a context that they naturally belong to, and would never need to know about a "real" value. I think it's the few that are outside of vnet that would most show this. My focus right now is jail integration, so these are the parts that I notice, as vnet wouldn't be integrated with jails so much as placed on top of them (as they are now placed on top of vimage which is almost but not quite entirely vnet). - Jamie
