Pretty heavy cross-posting here, could you perhaps reign this in to the = freebsd-jail@ list, where it can be discussed in-context? This will = help keep the noise down.

Wow, overall that's really quite cool. - Do you have a rough timeframe for when you want feedback? (I would = like to give this the time it deserves). -- Feedback right off the bat, (please tell me if I'm off track here): - After a short skim- I do not believe the qjail utilities referenced = are appropriate for the FreeBSD handbook. There are many 3rd party = approaches to handling/managing jails, some of them with quite long = histories and loyal user bases- it is impractical and not appropriate to = try to cover any/all of them here. - The "Jail Cell" vocabulary is a serious departure- and may create some = confusion- I'll read thoroughly to get your context right. In what I = understand to be the majority of uses, it's confusing to think of the = hardware host as the 'jail' and the jailed instance as the 'cell'. - The references and history cite some works, but do not cite the = original (and possibly most important) document on jailing, = http://docs.freebsd.org/44doc/papers/jail/jail.ps.gz - There are a number of common lexical errors right off the bat, (There = instead of Their), etc=85 -- I look foreword to reading this on my subway commute this week- Best, .ike
