You can also install the ezjail port, then it's just a "ifconfig XXX =20
alias ...; ezjail-admin create -i hostname IP; =20
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/ezjail start hostname" (you can even have =20
templates for specific jail-"flavors").

That's something special to you. I even have my desktop in a jail =20
(requires a kernel patch I want to document and offer for review as =20
time permits), and so far I have not seen any problem. Except for my =20
Laptop every private system is not a plain system anymore, every box =20
is now a host for several virtual servers which just offer a special =20
service. Very convenient from a maintenance point of view (it's more =20
time consuming at the beginning, but then it pays of when it's done =20
right). Every instance has perl 5.8 installed. The only report from =20
the perl install is the symlink in /usr which can not be created (read =20
only /usr in the jail), but this is not a hard failure, just a report. =20
And ezjail has a config option to create the symlink in the RO /usr.

Bye,
Alexander.
