Hi,
I've noticed that the Jails chapter in the Handbook is a bit out of
date. The handbook says one should place the jail_* config options in
the /etc/rc.conf file but this is deprecated. The config options should
now be placed in /etc/jail.conf.
I've created a SVN patch here with an update.
Best regards,
Jack-Benny Persson
