Note, not all tools are common in these distributions. FreeSBIE had been a bit outdated lately, but they have caught up with the game recently and now FreeSBIE is derived from FreeBSD 6.2. Before this was was published, RoFreeSBIE had been the outcome from the most recent FreeBSD release. > @@@ > what is jail? > I find it quite strange -- from the thread it appears that you first started talking about FreeBSD, and now you are asking what is Jail? Well, a jail is just what the name implies -- A Jail :D. In other words, Jail is one place where you have most of the nation-heads now-a-days, so they are confined to certain restrictions and quarantined from the rest of the world -- but that does not prevent the people with proper authority interact with them. Likewise, when you run particular services in some confinement within your system so other authorised resipients can interact with them, but they pose minimal sercurity risk for the entire system -- they are called being run in Jails. Just as an example -- supposing you plan to run a DNS server -- using BIND. Historically BIND (and SendMail as well :D) has a wide and persistent record of being highly vulnerable. So if you run them as default -- anyone who can compromise their security in turn compromises the security of your entire box. But if you run them in Jail -- since they are running from their own confinement -- only that part of the system is compromised -- not the entire box. even if the attacker gets root privilege -- the privilege is true only for that jail -- not the entire system. and I though people have learnt to use google by now. happy linuxing.
