It's not so much that I'm concerned about it running as root, it's not. I've
always found it to be best practice to have any publicly available service
running in a jail. That way if there ends up being an exploit that drops to
shell, they don't have access to main filesystem.

I've actually gotten the jail built and Mystic starts up and opens required
ports but when client attempts to connect it responds then drops the
connection.  If I get it figured out, I will be glad to add a page to the
wiki.

In regards to using external telnet, has anyone tried replacing telnet with
ssh?
