https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=218849 Jamie Gritton <jamie@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |jamie@FreeBSD.org --- Comment #24 from Jamie Gritton <jamie@FreeBSD.org> --- The easiest "fix" is certainly to remove the warning that the old method is going away. I wouldn't quite call it "mistaken", but I'll (almost) agree there's no overriding need to take the bits out of rc.d/jail that translate the old shell variables. Almost, because there are some confusing multiple paths on the kernel side that I'd would like to have deprecated, namely the security.jail.xxx_allowed and similar sysctls that used to be the only way to (globally) affect a lot of jail behavior, and are replaced by per-jail parameters but still live on as default values. But I can't get rid of those because they're part of the old shell-based setup. I remember some talk in the last year or two about a config file library that would allow (among other things) those DOS-like files that shell scripts seem to like. What's the latest on that? Jail.conf in particular had some sticking points as I recall. Something like that could be enough for ezjail, though I also wouldn't mind of ezjail just started using the current jail.conf format. Yes, it's harder for a shell script to use generally, but it would be possible to keep track of a shell-machine-readable version with a "hands off" comment at the top of it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
