I haven't resubmitted to lkml in a long time because I haven't found or implemented a better solution for the network virtualization, which Christoph wasn't happy with. The vserver ngnet or openvz networking may be a good solution. Additionally, the pid virtualization we've been discussing (and which should be submitted soon) would remove the need for the tasklookup patch, so bsdjail would reduce even further, to network and simple access controls. Note that I would prefer to see the full vserver in the kernel... -serge
