If all you intend on having is a single jail with apache running in it, then it may be easier to use it standard method. Remember that ezjail is just a wrapper around FreeBSD jails, a management utility if you will. You can have both ezjail jails and traditional jails running concurrently. You can experiment with both to find out which method you like. I find ezjail more convenient in situation where there are multiples jails running on a system. I imagine if you have found a use for one jail, it won't be long until you find need for another. -- Adam Vande More _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
