Again, thanks for the hint.  This was meant as a starting point; it  
was hacked together as a stop-gap measure in twenty minutes. (And has  
persisted over six months now...)

As to the actual problem:
- It should run late in the startup sequence, so cleantmp should have  
run.
- I cribbed the use directly off some other script... let's see...  
ah, it's /etc/rc.d/jail.
- The host for all the jails should be inaccessible for anyone except  
myself and my admin colleague. (And yes, there's no services running  
there apart from sshd.)

I would be more than happy for someone else taking this script,  
polishing it, and getting it committed, so I don't have to rememeber  
not nuking it on the next mergemaster :-)


Cheers,
Stefan
