However, this package not being in ports shouldn't prevented you from tryin= g it -- it's extremely stable and as I mentioned, we've been using it heavi= ly at $work for over 12 months now. When you download the package (*.tgz) a= nd pkg_add it, it installs the following two files only: /etc/rc.d/vimage /etc/rc.conf.d/vimage NOTE: The rc.conf.d file is the "documentation" on usage If you haven't tried it, then I hope you will because I think the new jail.= conf stuff falls short. Don't get me wrong, jail.conf is a great start, but= simply adding the ability to manage the vnet aspect of a jail does not mak= e a vimage (what's missing is the built-in support for generating bridges a= s vimages are brought up/down dynamically). I feel that before I add this to ports I need to reprogram it to use jail.c= onf (not directly). That will simplify its code and [should] make it smalle= r. I was somewhat waiting on /etc/rc.d/jail to blaze the trail for me. In short, the landscape has been changing fast enough that it's prevented m= e from adding this to ports, but in spite of that it's still very much real= _and_ real stable. --=20 Devin _____________ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidentia= l.
