Not having actually tried it yet, it would seem to be possible given: Both computers: are the same arch (i386, in my case). are running the same kernel and userland (e.g., FreeBSD RELENG_6_1) have identical jail environments (e.g., sysutils/ezjail) Of course, minor modifications may need to be made for IP addresses and such. It would seem this scenario would be good for developing things like web-based applications on a development server, then deploying the final product to a production server. Comments, thoughts, criticisms welcomed. yea, this is actually one the larger benefits of jailing IMO. i've used this method to help setup distributed mirroring of websites for some OSS projects. -pete -- ~~o0OO0o~~ Pete Wright www.nycbug.org NYC's *BSD User Group ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
