FreeBSD Jails (O'ReillyNet)
In this O'ReillyNet article Mike DeGraw-Bertsch explains
how FreeBSD's jails can help secure necessary applications. "Those
familiar with Java recognize the security concept of a sandbox. For those
that aren't, it's the concept that everyone gets a unique, well-equipped
sandbox to play in, and a person in one sandbox isn't allowed into anyone
else's sandbox, not even to share anything with anyone else. On FreeBSD,
jails implement this concept -- they keep processes in their own part of
the system, denying access to anything else."

The O'Reilly BSD Dev Center Posted Sep 6, 2003 5:08 UTC (Sat) by JohnBell (guest, #12625) [Link] O'Reilly does it again. This is an excellent resource, and well worth the extra time it takes to browse through all the categories.
