At some point I think I had to refer to the Handbook howto as well, but having the Handbook open to the relevant section when doing something new is/should_be mandatory. Upon completion of the process I noted something which I assume to be normal behavior, a new beast has been created /var/named/dev which seems to contain some rather odd creatures indeed. crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 2, 2 Jan 16 08:55 null crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 6, 8 Jan 15 16:28 ptyp8 crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 249, 0 Jan 12 12:11 random crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 5, 8 Jan 15 16:28 ttyp8 I (instinctively) assume all this constitutes a rather rugged part of the "jail".
