Hi! I've been thinking for this for a few days and eventually had the time to have a first look at it. What I'd like to do is basicly running '/usr/libexec/getty dcons dcons' inside a jail and allow the host system to access the console. It's easy to do using the dconschat TCP feature (dconschat -rTC 12345) and using telnet to connect but I don't like the idea of allowing telnet connections from remote systems to important services. So my solution (only had a quick look at the code) should work like this: - write a firewire-like extension for dconschat, i.e. 'dcons -j myjail' that connects to the console on the local jail 'myjail' - build a miniature version of /etc/ttys in the jail to allow configuration. - make sure the comserver-con port works with this extension :) Are there any comments or recommondations?
