Re^4: un-installing perl core modules inside a freebsd jail

I think the low level networking functions (socket, bind, listen, connect) are built in to Perl. If that is the case, then you can't prevent internet access by removing modules. I'm not a freebsd person, but perhaps a more complete approach would be to address this via OS and network.

Agreed -- from a security point of view, it makes much more sense just to block networking in general for this process. Alex / talexb / Toronto "Groklaw is the open-source mentality applied to legal research" ~ Linus Torvalds	[reply]

Yep. I plan on using a freebsd jail with no ip support at all. So I've got that covered already. :) Was just thinking of pushing it	[reply]
