Hi Roelof,

I have put the script in rc.d but it complains alot when it starts. Not
that I did not specify start) and stop) but the boot messages for jail
also go into the console!!!

Secondly, how does one install applications inside jail?? Sysinstall
doesn't work for me, or is there something the man page is silent about
here?

I am surprised that those users running jail are not responding to my
queries. I always search the archives 1st before I get to the list. i only
expose my ignorance when I MUST ;-)=20

TIA
