= [vserver] security comparison between vserver and UML = ----- * '''From:''' Mitchell Smith * '''Date:''' Thu, 8 May 2003 22:21:12 +0100 (BST) ----- <pre>Hi again list, In a production environment does UML http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net offer any security advantages over vserver? Am just thinking in terms of UML running it's own kernel in userspace, vs a system running in a chrooted environment. Which would be easier to break out of? The other advantage I see over UML, is you would be able to enforce per user system resource limits, amount of memory etc, where as you probably couldn't do that with vserver, or no way that I have found yet. Any suggestions on the advantages of one system over the other greatly appreciated. Thanks >From Mitchell </pre> ----- * '''Follow-Ups''': ** '''[[msg03136.html|[vserver] Re: security comparison between vserver and UML]]''' *** ''From:'' John Goerzen ** '''[[msg03133.html|Re: [vserver] security comparison between vserver and UML]]''' *** ''From:'' Sam Vilain ** '''[[msg03122.html|re: [vserver] security comparison between vserver and UML]]''' *** ''From:'' Jacques Gelinas ** '''[[msg03121.html|Re: [vserver] security comparison between vserver and UML]]''' *** ''From:'' Florian Wilkemeyer (FWS) * Prev by Date: '''[[msg03119.html|RE: [vserver] vserver and disk quotas]]''' * Next by Date: '''[[msg03121.html|Re: [vserver] security comparison between vserver and UML]]''' * Previous by thread: '''[[msg03118.html|[vserver] ILI Flag and chattr +t interference?]]''' * Next by thread: '''[[msg03121.html|Re: [vserver] security comparison between vserver and UML]]''' * Index(es): ** [[index.html#03120|'''Date''']] ** [[threads.html#03120|'''Thread''']]
