Why Solaris? Wouldn't be more useful to do something similar on Linux,
because it is more used·? Ok, I'm using Linux too ...:)

I thought to open new Linux account to any new user, then put one or
more his images in chroot jails. All this can bi done from some agent
image with root rights, which is connected to the main admin image.

About IPs, because there will be a Swazoo front end which has virtual
server support, we need just one public IP while user images can run on
just on localhost and different ports.
