This thread has been very interesting.  I was familiar with the chroot
concept, but never of a completely jailed system (except for VMware, but I
have always looked at that as more of a workstation solution, not for
virtual servers).

So far, all of this has been for BSD and Linux.  Is there a similar
software-based (not talking about domains on SunFire systems, etc.) jail
concept for Solaris systems?

A quick Google search only pointed to chroot solutions.  Google groups
pointed out a product called papillion (http://www.roqe.org/papillon/), but
it doesn't work for root-level users.

Thanks,
Wyatt
