Also posting at various times as {fbsd1,fbsd_user,joeb}@a1poweruser.com 
= Joe Barbish, reputed author of qjail.  Never admits to using aliases, 
especially when appearing as 'someone else' in support of his position.

The thing that amazes me most about qjail is that there has never been 
one single mention of it in freebsd-jail at freebsd.org, where jail kernel 
work, utilities and usage are developed, debugged and discussed.
