[hobbit] Issues with hobbitd loading

[Don Munyak]

Thanks Henrik...

I read the link as well as the {prev} page from said link. And then
googled the author. OT: I can't beleive the author was in 9th grade
when he wrote the article. I am completely amazed and envious

...anyway

I made the change to the HOST sysctl.conf.

security.jail.sysvipc_allowed=1

Current sysctl.conf for HOST system

----
hobbitd now loads and website appears functional. I haven't yet
configured any host systems.

----
Aside from the obvious "Processes in jail can use System V IPC
primitives", what does this mean in terms of security.
I understand that should a jail get hacked, the hacker can use system
V IPC primitives. How and to what extent?

Thanks so much for your help
