If I later on want to start another process (or the same) by another user inside the jail, I will have to add the same user on the host system. For instance, if I want to run a process as the user www inside the jail, I won't be able to start another process on-the-fly using jexec, as the user www, as the user www on the host system has no home or shell. >How-To-Repeat: Not repeatable as it's a 'wish to be added'-problem and not a bug. >Fix: My suggestion would be to add a -U (and -u) flag to the jexec command. On another note, how come there's no start-up configuration for jexec? As the system is right now, it's impossible to start one jail, running 3 different processes inside the jail as 3 different users by only using /etc/rc.conf. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
