Hi Valeri,
It's simpler than you think. Your /etc/jail.conf can be as simple as:
exec.start = "/bin/sh /etc/rc";
exec.stop = "/bin/sh /etc/rc.shutdown";
exec.clean;
mount.devfs;
path = /zroot/jails/$name;
myjail{
host.hostname = "myjail.local";
ip4.addr = 192.168.1.5;
}
You can add more options to the jail as required. Look at jail(8) man
page instead of jail.conf(5) which lists the format, but not the
options. I think this is kind of backwards myself, but I wasn't involved
in these docs.
Now you can do "service jail start myjail" it will just work. :-)
