Jails for OpenBSD

[gpatrick]

Although this is the FreeBSD forum, I have been unable to find any answer to why OpenBSD doesn't have jails and am hoping somebody here can answer the question.

Because it doesn't?

Perhaps that question is better asked on an OpenBSD forum?

For OpenBSD there is sysjail:
http://sysjail.bsd.lv/

...but:

Not to mention that, as mentioned on the first page vermaden linked to, the sysjail project is now defunct.

I think OpenBSD split off from NetBSD. I don't think jails were part of NetBSD.

As to why it hasn't been added in, you'd have to ask the OpenBSD people.

No duh.... you're responding to a thread which is almost 9 years old

If you need Jails on OpenBSD then use vmm(8), its closest you will get.

aurelien Please don't resurrect 9 year old threads.

Besides being an old thread, this is a question about OpenBSD. I'm going to close it due to rule #7: FreeBSD Forums Rules
