.SH NAME
ezjail \- A simple jail setup framework
.SH SYNOPSIS
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/ezjail
.SH DESCRIPTION
The ezjail framework provides a simple way to create many virtual FreeBSD
servers by using FreeBSD's jail system. It requires little administration
effort and aims for minimum system resource usage.

.SH OVERVIEW
One
.I base jail
is filled with most userland binaries and libraries and then mounted
2005-09-20 21:52:57 +00:00
read only into a number of stripped down jails via

.B mount_nullfs(8)
2005-09-20 21:52:57 +00:00
- thus saving lots of inodes and memory resources.
The ezjail rc script examines its config directory, sets variables
.I jail_list
and the corresponding config variables for each jail before passing all
commands on to the
.B /etc/rc.d/jail
script.
.B ezjail
sets the
.I jail_enable
variable to the content of
.I ezjail_enable
before calling
.B /etc/rc.d/jail,
so it is not necessary to enable jails in the
.B /etc/rc.conf
config file.
