Looking at the /usr/share/doc/handbook/ directory on the 4.0 system installed from the ISO image I downloaded seems to have recent documentation, but it's not the same as the book.txt on the CD in the /book directory is from Sept 1999. The CD-ROM is what I was trying to use, and the FreeBSD web site. The jail command is not explained in any of these documents at all, and that leads me to believe the docs aren't really complete, however the jail man page seems to have a lot of information. I was just using the jail command as an example because I know it didn't exist in the previous documentation or O/S, so that's what I was using to determine if I was looking at new material. Sorry for the confusion on my part, but the docs on the CD should also be updated.
