i have been wondering that myself. Last i tried, i couldnt even get an
email to be sent to majordomo to subscribe on to the list...
(PERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 9): 550 5.1.1
[EMAIL PROTECTED]: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in

Perhaps u might have better luck just trying to reach one of the guys
(http://sysjail.bsd.lv/contact.html) directly

sysjail and networking

2007-05-23 Thread Michael
Hi,

I've been experimenting with sysjails (http://sysjail.bsd.lv/) and
really began to like it. It is nice to always have a jail as build
environment with native speed, which I can almost automatically delete
and restore to the base installation within a few minutes without
messing up the host with build dependencies.

To really be able to try out jailed mail and other stuff I wonder if it
is somehow possible that when I send out packets from the jail that
those get tagged with the jail ip instead of the main IP of the
interface? Of cause it is possible to specify the IP for ping with -I
but I'd love to have the jail IP as the default for all stuff.

The machine had 1 physical interface with the main ip 192.168.180.164
and the alias 192.168.180.165 which I used for the jail until now.

When I ping any other machine without the -I option from inside the jail
it sees the packages coming from 192.168.180.164 instead of 192.168.180.165.

I've already checked man ifconfig and looked into vlan and tunnel
interfaces with the idea of creating a virtual interface but that didn't
really help me. Maybe someone could beat me with a clue stick here?

Is it possible at all to have a virtual interface working with sysjail?

If yes, I would be happy about some hints in addition to the manuals.


Thanks in advance,

Michael
