Life is hard, I can tell you.
Go for it.
I had a great start on this project with several releases and then
not much for a year. I am still using it all the time (we have something like
150 vservers at the offfice) and I am still developping stuff. The chroot_safe
is done and I have been working on resource limitation.
For those interested, it is very hard to handle open source project for many years.
I am doing this since 1992 with the same email address. During august and early
september, I was getting something like 10,000 emails a day. Using whatever tools
available, reading emails stopped being fun. I have lost several useful messages
because they looked like spam or virus.
I have currently 10000 emails in my inbox (mind you my email reader works
on top of mysql) and there is al least 4000 messages I should read in there.
Install you stuff and once done, I will put links on the current web site.
