The rc variables in the conf are strings, so your rc.conf should have this: jail_forest-friend_rootdir="/usr/jails/forest-friend" jail_forest-friend_ip="192.168.0.15" However, whether or not a hyphen is allowed in the jail name is another matter. Yes a hyphen is allowed in a hostname, but in the rc.conf the hostname is set in a string (as mentioned before). Also, the jail name and hostname don't need to be the same thing.
