I am curious about the following observed behaviour:
On the host I see this:
ll /usr/jails/mx32/etc/a*
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 17 Jun 25 12:45
/usr/jails/mx32/etc/aliases -> /etc/mail/aliases
more /usr/jails/mx32/etc/aliases
# $FreeBSD: releng/11.1/etc/mail/aliases 243752 2012-12-01 15:11:46Z
rwatson $
# @(#)aliases 5.3 (Berkeley) 5/24/90
#
. . .
On the jail I see this:
ll /etc/alias*
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 17 Jun 25 12:45 /etc/aliases ->
/etc/mail/aliases
# $FreeBSD: releng/11.0/etc/mail/aliases 243752 2012-12-01 15:11:46Z
rwatson $
# @(#)aliases 5.3 (Berkeley) 5/24/90
# mx32
#
. . .
I wish to confirm that this is intended behaviour; that a single
symbolic link can have differing target files depending whether one is
in a jail or not.
