--- Comment #5 from Joe Barbish <qjail1@a1poweruser.com> ---
I have been thinking about this more and I remember having this discussion =
some
time a few years ago in the past. There is nothing wrong with the dmesg com=
mand
issued from within a non-vimage jail showing the in kernel message info. Th=
is
also happens with the ifconfig command when issued from within a non-vimage
jail.=20

The intent was not to give a compromised jail attacker any indication he was
not on the host, but in a jailed environment. Turning off dmesg or ifconfig
when issued from a jail would indeed be such an indication.

In a vnet/vimage this would also be true for the dmesg command.

This is not a bug, but done by design with intent.=20

This pr should be closed.
