Should jail treat ip-number?

1999-11-08 Thread Yoshinobu Inoue
Hello, I have some concern about jail, and would like to discuss them. Currentlly jail set an ip-number and let prisoned processes only to bind it. My concerns are, (1)When IPv6 is added to the system, more general id would be desirable. (2)What is the goal of the restriction? If physica

I did a little remote debugging with serial cable on 4.0-current a while ago. But now I can not make it work on 3.3-RELEASE. I have used kermit to make sure that the cable connection is good. I also have added necessary kernel options into the configuration file. My questions are: (1) What f

What happens when this is done? Can it ever work? How about the reverse, where you link in PIC compiled libraries into static (.a) libraries? Does this work? Assuming it works (in either case) are there any performance hits/advantages to either? My impression from past discussions is that you
