I was talking with a UNIX admin today about security, and he recommended a strategy involving what are temed jails on FreeBSD. He did say, he has limited experience on Suse and Ubuntu.
Holly cow Ted, do we have to cover a whole semester course in one email? Jails (called chroot jails in linux) are usually for processes services and such, not for users. The FTP server might put every session in a chroot jail so that they can't get at anything else in the machine. Mail servers typically run in a jail. Users don't run in jails usually. Mostly just services. Services that are supposed to be run in a Jail, are usually set up that way when you install them by yast. Virtual machines are whole different item. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
