Does it not work if you set up local_startup with /usr/local/rc.conf.d/jail=
as a directory? From rc.conf (5):=20
In addition to /etc/rc.conf.local you can also place smaller
configuration files for each rc(8) script in the /etc/rc.conf.d direct=
ory
or =E2=9F=A8dir=E2=9F=A9/rc.conf.d directories specified in local_star=
tup, which will be
included by the load_rc_config function. For jail configurations you
could use the file /etc/rc.conf.d/jail to store jail specific
configuration options. If local_startup contains /usr/local/etc/rc.d =
and
/opt/conf, /usr/local/rc.conf.d/jail and /opt/conf/rc.conf.d/jail will=
be
loaded. If =E2=9F=A8dir=E2=9F=A9/rc.conf.d/=E2=9F=A8name=E2=9F=A9 is =
a directory, all of files in the
directory will be loaded. Also see the rc_conf_files variable below.
