Hello,

This patch is interesting. To my understanding though, ipfw uses RAW sockets
to communicate with the kernel. Therefore, it might be possible to edit the
ipfw table from within the jail, which may be a bad thing. Just a thought.

Thanks,

Subject: jail support for ping, traceroute, etc.. crude hack



        so, i am working on building a "super-server" for me
and several friends to collaborate with on the money front
to put our machine in a colo location, etc.. and still have good
access to networking resources.

        as a result, i needed to modify the FreeBSD kernel such
that it will allow us to use ping, traceroute and other tools.

        obviously we know there will be some underlying security
issues associated but we are sophisticated to understand the
nature of these and they are an 'acceptable' situation.

        my diffs are available at

http://puck.nether.net/~jared/fbsd-4.8-rc1-diff-jail-raw_ip.txt
and are against the 4.8-rc1 /usr/src/sys tree

        yeah, they're crude but it gets the desired job done.  there
is a sysctl to control it, so if its not the desired operation
it can be easily tweaked.

        send me comments.

        enjoy,

        - jared
