Description:
------------
  Jailkit is a set of utilities to limit user accounts to specific files using
chroot() and or specific commands. Setting up a chroot shell, a shell limited
to some specific command, or a daemon inside a chroot jail is a lot easier
using these utilities.

Jailkit can be used on CVS servers (in a chroot and limited to cvs), sftp/scp
servers (both in a chroot and limited to sftp/scp as well as not in a chroot
but only limited to sftp/scp), and also on general servers with accounts where
the shell accounts are in a chroot. Jailkit is furthermore used to jail daemon
processes, for example apache servers, bzflag servers, squid proxy servers,
etc.

The daemons and shells only need libc and libpthreads, available on almost all
GNU/Linux systems, and many other Unix like systems. The install and check
utilities are written in python, and therefore you need to have python
installed. Older versions of jailkit required gnu libc, but from version 1.0
jailkit should not require a specific libc anymore (gnu libc is recommended
though). Jailkit is confirmed to work on GNU/Linux, OpenBSD, FreeBSD and
MacOSX.

The software can be found on
http://olivier.sessink.nl/jailkit/jailkit-1.3.tar.bz2
and has a modified BSD licence.
