It's a scam. When learning a non-trivial subject, RTFM and STFW can require a lot of effort -- especially the latter, as the WWW is full of incomplete, obsolete, and contradictory information. I am willing to pay a reasonable price for a printed book that contains current information, organizes it, and presents it in a rational order. Lucas writes such books, and I own eleven of them. I do not recall ever encountering an error when entering an example from a Lucas book. (But, I have not entered every command from every book.) When I wanted jails for my SOHO server, I read Lucas and choose the jail(8) option. My server is running 24x7 without issues. I believe I attempted ezjail for a second server, but ran into problems with the software not being unsupported on 12.1-RELEASE (?). I have not tried iocage. David
