I'm leaning towards using 5.3 on a new project, so I'm mainly interested in any faqs/howtos beyond the manpage that address changes in jail from 4.x->5.x. What are some of the improvements in 5.3? Anyone have a particular doc on jail that's your favorite? Any favorite tools for managing jails? I'm looking to use this to isolate a few shell users from the rest of the system, it's not a huge web-hosting type project which seems to be the typical use of jail.
