The only downside is that many things expect init to be pid=1 but in the jail, this isn't true - I keep the pid of the init in a temporary file (ugly hack, a better "hack" would probably involve hacking the kernel sources so that the jailed pid is "1" and that when that process dies, the whole jail gets a kill -9. -- ANTONY T CURTIS Tel: +44 (1635) 36222 Abacus Polar Holdings Ltd Fax: +44 (1635) 38670 > There is a green, multi-legged creature crawling on your shoulder.
