I am now using your new multi-IP Jail (7-STABLE) for a few weeks without
any problems. Thanks for your good work!
I am interested in new features - jail name and cpuset support. I can
use it manually, but there is no support in /etc/rc.d/jail. Do you have
any plan to add these features in to rc.d/jail + rc.conf? Or better said
- If I make a patch, are you willing to clean + commit it? :) (I know,
you do not want more complexity in rc.d/jail script...)
I also done one patch half year ago
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=124248
Can you accept it, or reject it, so the PR can be closed? (I can make
newer patch for 7-STABLE or 8-CURRENT if you want it)
