Dear rc team, I know your time is precious, but there is an annoying bug in rc.d/jail that keeps littering my (and my user's) servers with stray soft links whenever we start jails. I've described the bug two years ago here http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=conf/143084 and even conveniently applied a simple and effective patch. tl;dr: If rc.d/jail can not access $_devdir, a soft link is created in ./log => ../var/run/log no matter where I was. Unfortunally I am still busy answering emails from users of ezjail who first look for the problem with themselves, then blame it on ezjail and finally complain about FreeBSD. Also I have to clean up my systems from all the littering links called "log" pointing nowhere. If please a committer could take the five minutes to look into the bug and fix the problem, he could save me and my users a lot of trouble and time. Thanks in advance, erdgeist
