Hi, I've set up a jail and am getting confused about setting up the devices. The name of the jail is "jail" and it's directory is "/usr/jail". I am using 5.3-Release. I have tried three methods, one that works, two that don't. At the moment what I'm doing is "mount_devfs devfs /usr/jail/dev" then going into the jail and deleting the devices that I (think) I don't need/shouldn't have available. This works, but brings up the problem that I don't know what devices I should leave in and which I shouldn't. I tried adding the line "jail_jail_devfs_ruleset=4" along with other suggested lines relating to jails to /etc/rc.conf, but this resulted in an error message at bootup; "WARNING: devfs_set_ruleset: you must specify a ruleset number". I am getting the number ("4") from the "/etc/defaults/devfs.rules" file. I have also read "man 8 dev" and tried the line " devfs -m /usr/jail/dev rule -s 4 applyset", which results in the error "devfs rule: ioctl DEVFSIO_SAPPLY: Inappropriate ioctl for device". I'm pretty sure in this case I'm just mistaken about how to use the command properly. So my questions are; 1) If I use my current method, the first, which devices should I leave in the jails /dev directory, and which should I delete? 2) Is the entry I tried in /etc/rc.conf in the second method correct, and if not, what should it be? 3) Is the command i tried in method three correct, and if not, what should it be?
