Hi, While doing some research on FreeBSD jails, I came across an item in the jails' TODO: - be able to have a separate PID space for it - be able to specify a separate UID space for it In other projects, these goals have been accomplished using namespaces. I tried to see if PID/UID namespaces existed in BSD and came across something called Capsicum, a sandboxing project which does not appear to implement outright namespaces for descriptors like PID/UID, but uses something called a "Process Descriptor." Is namespacing of PIDs and UIDs an eventual goal of the jails project of FreeBSD? Thanks, David PS: Excuse my ignorance of anything related to BSD, as I come from a Linux background. -- PGP: 6141 5FFD 11AE 9844 153E F268 7C98 7268 6B19 6CC9
