after much futsing around, we have a jail'ed environment doing what we want it to. Would like to recreate the environment as needed. I see two options: 1) Scripting a jail creation and required library/scripts creation program and running it for each new jail we wish to create. 2) Create a "template" Jail environment, then copy and rename the directory tree, and add additional jail lines to the rc.local rc.conf to IP them and start them on reboot. Any reason why #2 should not work, even to the point where if ports were installed in the jail'ed environment, they could be recreated in their installed state. The easiest but most time consuming would be to simply script everything (step 1). Enter the new IP address, user information, and have it go through the jail creation, port installation, rc. configuration and so forth, but we are talkig significant time and server resources(or more importantly disk access time) to accomplish this. Any thoughts or idea on this matter would be appreciated. Dave To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
