I was wondering if FreeBSD Jails are available on Mac OS X or perhaps an equivalent?


Solution 1:

Jails are not available on OSX.

The closest alternative with a similar application for security available would be chroot.

The differences, benefits and drawbacks of chroot vs. jail can fill days worth of discussion / flamewars. Depending on what you try to accomplish, chroots may however be a viable alternative.

Solution 2:

Nope. For info, the question was once asked on the FreeBSD forum
