 Good point, my problem statemen was unnecessairly broad.  As we
 discussed on IRC, perhaps letting jail'd processes learn their
 jid servese no useful purpose, which might weaken security.
 
 For posterity, one way to detect if we're operating in a jail from
 the command line would be something like:
 
 INJAIL=`ps -p $$ | awk '$3 ~ /.*J/ { print "yes" };'`
 
 Unless someone sees other value in a sysctl to get the JID,
 someone can go ahead and resolve this request.  Thanks.
