Matthias PetermannThe naming poll for the NetBSD isolation project is now closed - and I think the result speaks for itself. 😉
Thanks to everyone who participated and shared thoughts in the discussion. The feedback from the BSD community has been really helpful.
I’ll take a bit of time to digest the results and the comments before making a final decision.
More updates soon - stay tuned.
I’ve been following the discussions about the name of my NetBSD project ("Jails for NetBSD") across a few platforms over the past days and really appreciate the thoughtful feedback.
The short version: the current prototype is probably closer to a cell or a cage than a strict jail, so the name might indeed not be perfect. The project originally started as an experiment inspired by FreeBSD jails, but while exploring NetBSD internals it evolved into something slightly different: controlled process isolation built around the secmodel framework, a different approach for the tool chain and configuration, and without resource limits and network virtualization.
Because of that, I’m open to renaming the project at this stage.
I’ve attached a small poll with a few candidate names — please vote if you like.
And if the right name isn’t listed yet, feel free to drop suggestions in the comments 🙂

New series: FreeBSD Foundationals
Part 1 is about Jails - specifically VNET Jails. What epair interfaces actually are (virtual ethernet cables), how bridges tie them together, why the host is basically a router for your jails, and what devfs rulesets control.
Covers the full lifecycle from jail.conf through pf firewalling with NAT/RDR for IPv4 and direct routing for IPv6. Plus the gotchas that'll cost you hours if nobody warns you.
Not a beginner tutorial, hardcore details. The useful middle.
