Not at the present moment. I suggest adding a FR at berlios.

However the change is quite trivial.

Edit nxnode and search for STARTX=""

Go some lines down until you see:

        esac
        [ -n "$STARTX" ] || return

Change this to:

        esac
	STARTX="myjail"
        [ -n "$STARTX" ] || return
