First, I set up Postfix on my host system and that's what all email should be running through. I'm noticing though that some jails are running sendmail processes--possibly to try to get out some kind of emails (periodic, I'm guessing). Is there a way to remove sendmail altogether and force all jails or all services to send mail to the host IP? I can enable relay for those if that's what's needed, but I'd really like to filter everything through postfix sendmail. Finally, I'm noticing that some of my jails are falling behind in terms of updates. I use ezjail; I upgraded to pkgNG on the host system and other jails are still running behind. This makes sense, but I'm curious what people use to help keep jails updated. Most importantly, I'd like to be able to update ports and run freebsd-update (is this needed) from the jail on cron. the freebsd-update works, but it returns errors about a kernel (which is pretty much to be expected). Thanks in advance for any info--I really appreciate it. Appologies as well for all the questions; I'm making my way from Linux to BSD and trying to be a useful server admin. With my luck I've probably already got a few people doing evil things with it, but I'll learn in time. -- Take care, Ty http://tds-solutions.net He that will not reason is a bigot; he that cannot reason is a fool; he that dares not reason is a slave.
