This is better suited for freebsd-jail@ (CCed), please remove freebsd-security@ on reply to move the discussion there.

Has anyone here ever successfully set up a jail for X apps, connecting
to an external X server? I'm trying an experimental sandbox setup here.

I have my X server itself in a jail (needs a kernel patch and some devfs rules), and in the past connected to a jail and started a X11 programm there... IIRC.

I have a jail running on an aliased IP on my local machine and X
programs connect out of the jail to my local X server via an SSH
tunneled TCP connection. All other packets to and from the jail are
denied by the packet filter.  The trouble I am having is that many
applications (all X apps so far and a few of the SSH tools) try to open
and read from /dev/tty, which clearly isn't going to happen:

ssh uses a tty (pty?), but normally you have some in a jail. How do you start the jail? There should be devfs mounted in the jail.

Bye,
Alexander.
