I'm glad you got an answer to this question but ezjail has a lot of issues that do not look like they are going to be resolved anytime soon. In particular, upgrading a binary installed jail created with ezjail is not supported. Which means that once a jail is installed with ezjail on a system without source code, it will likely NEVER be updated. I developed an entire system to deal with solving that specific problem but it's clunky, messy and very fragile. While I was seeking advice on some of the nuances involved, I exchanged email with several very helpful people. As a result, my suggestion is to use qjail instead of ezjail. It DOES support updates on hosts & jails that are binary only. The documentation is well above average and, if you run into complications, you can get answers. The one thing that I can not get working with qjail that ezjail supports (with some hacks) is quotas. If you can live without quotas and need UFS, qjail is the best solution. If you are using ZFS (which I cannot), you might consider iocage instead. Because it requires ZFS, it's a non-starter for me but people whose opinion I respect speak highly of it.
