FreeBSD publishes quarterly newsletter |
|
The FreeBSD project has published its quarterly newsletter which outlines work going into the FreeBSD operating system and its ports. One of the highlights is the implementation of service jails, a mechanism which provides some automated sandboxing of background services with minimal effort from the administrator. "Service jails extend the rc(8) system to allow automatic jailing of rc.d services. A service jail inherits the filesystem of the parent host or jail, but uses all other limits of the jail (process visibility, restricted network access, filesystem mounting permissions, sysvipc, …) by default. Additional configuration allows inheritance of the IPs of the parent, sysvipc, memory page locking, and use of the bhyve virtual machine monitor (vmm(4)). The base system infrastructure and the base system rc.d services are committed to 15-current, and the handbook / rc article updates are committed to the documentation. Next steps are to extend services in the ports collection to be able to make use of it." Information on changes to other elements of FreeBSD can be found in the newsletter. |
