FreeBSD Jails are a fancy chroot so that someone using the jail can have root access and still not have complete control over the server that provides the jail infrastructure.

Similar to Solaris containers.

An easy way to set up jails is to use the ezjail port found in the /usr/ports directory. Only drawback is that you cannot yet have IPv4 and IPv6 dualstack jails in ezjails.
