If you really want to get crazy you can UserMode Linux, and run Linux in Linux. Then not only can you create chroot jails, but honeypots as well. :) Mmmm... Don't you just love the power linux offers you. Multiboot systems, systems within systems, kernels running in virtual machines within other kernels, does it get any better? Yeah, how about being able replace your kernel without rebooting? Then we could see some real uptime magic. :) -- Michael GnuPG Fingerprint: 4C56 7C23 8BD9 8B39 C4D4 B8F3 42FB 3634 31B5 E963
