[PLUG] OpenBSD sysjail announcement

[Michael Dexter]

Sveiki PLUGinieki!

Some of you may be interested in a project I have been working on 
with a developer here in Riga while in voluntary exile.

It is a more or less drop-in replacement for FreeBSD jail but using 
Systrace on OpenBSD. This can give you either an improved chroot or 
system virtualization without surrendering significant system 
resources to Xen, UserModeLinux, VMWare and the like.

I welcome any experienced OpenBSD users (or frustrated FreeBSD users) 
to try it, punch holes in it and let me know how we can improve it 
prior to official release.

 From the web page:

sysjail is a userland virtualisation system for operating systems 
supporting the systrace library. It is developed on and currently 
supports OpenBSD. The first generation of sysjail is as close to a 
drop-in replacement for FreeBSD's jail subsystem as permitted. As 
with a jail, processes within a sysjail are disallowed resources 
belonging to the system proper, known as the "host" system, or other 
sysjail instances. While sysjail currently behaves as an OpenBSD 
implementation of jail, it has the potential to provide significant 
auditing, profiling and debugging tools allowing full auditing of 
intercepted system calls, run-time modification and extension of 
policies, etc. The sysjail sources are released mainly under 
OpenBSD's 3-part license.

Please say "hello" to FUP and have a Swagat lunch special for me.

Take care,

Michael Dexter
