The jail.conf format will likely need to be tweaked a bit to make it compatible. My main reason for wanting to do this, is that the current jail.conf can not easily be programmatically edited by tools like puppet. That is why I use ezjail, in addition to its existing interface, its rc.conf style means I can edit an ezjail config with the sysrc tool included in base. ezjail would not lose its value even if the base jail tools were very easy to use. EZJail has features, like the 'basejail', that the base tool is never going to have. Not everyone needs that feature, but I like = it. EZJail is not going away. --=20 Allan Jude --gkvxhhmfBeUGtd4GCeIJaQAFNULB6cqPp Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (MingW32) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJUyAriAAoJEJrBFpNRJZKfqEUQAL/OVhqzAv03nX5ngrl1PEcO vGDSl2y6zvD0USdGtUqtbF5nJuKsQ7Iw0LK5giY3uFiJeD/528Tgt8zgPVJurgCB eJ6GYHuerSmuuaBGz1rXwO2GCjs3UNa0C/FnqNf0tlw2NCOP3jr6UGBlCZTjG465 TholjOh4dBsnCphhlRdmqrQncOq0IfbpLpy8fdRGH1EgSYA7GbjEckZTxf4Py+Kc jmb0rSKiuyyh7uzGkeVn2cugGREKFE3WW9UkwX4vZ5jWL7b8+aoZoPZ8RfnnBIX+ LtvJlHDB8s0lC7ipsako6sIJArD7XjVTBS6YFxtJVZMrlote1t7ZAiTh/3woFXrw ZPKhL/jSY8UfzMKV8GANZLtxuD9zte0ZB14I54Bb9C5r//40eyZZL+a3ng8PR3lY S3ffNj9YbHpYS1+fDC0Oy3Ftv3kwhu/YmLjRNt8zXi+/4ju2VKhocJeoA6pE+nF0 1EyMzEe1s6GpaAsSiLFyK3cW2Ao+4fvjBl6XkVnDDFmCmAnG5AsRYseRc7Vp0eg9 IclD0a277SH7lfO7HnjisRN/CMGWELcEIIG36UJc28dHLKQc8sFz7x/G8pSJJEGh +2U+9qoy7vJZfnMQZHy3gqGoXJ7jVjLnWtMnY+FuNRbKz+J3AGxKjuxXX0QznG7n sbFKW47aFYEVkDzWZ6VT =ABoY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --gkvxhhmfBeUGtd4GCeIJaQAFNULB6cqPp--
