https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=284961 Bug ID: 284961 Summary: $name in jail.conf is empty if it's a number Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: Manual Pages Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: buero28@icloud.com CC: doc@FreeBSD.org If only numbers [0-9] are used for the jail name in jail.conf. There is only the JID existent. The $name variable is empty. Steps for testing: 1. Create a jail like 100 { parameter="value"; ...} 2. Try to use the name variable 100 { parameter="$name"; ...} -> fails name is empty 3. Try to set the JID 100 { jid="3"; ...} -> fails JID already 100 Notes from the Jails Production User call (28.01.2025) >From jail(8): name The jail name. This is an arbitrary string that identifies a jail (except it may not contain a `.'). Like the jid, it can be passed to later jail commands, or to jls(8) or jexec(8). If no name is supplied, a default is assumed that is the same as the jid. The name parameter is implied by the jail.conf(5) file format, and need not be explicitly set when using the con- figuration file. jail.conf(5) This is used by jail(8) to specify a jail on the command line and re- port the jail status, and is also passed to the kernel when creating the jail. Suggestion? "If name parameter is unbound, but the JID is, expand name to JID" name = JID is the current workaround? Jail block name controls the jail name? Can't name it within the configuration block? ROUGHLY/VERIFY: If the name is only made of numerical values, the JID will be equal to that value and the name variable will not be assigned. The user must assign the name variable manually with name = $jid, or use the JID variable instead of the name variable. see: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kVYiLhWjql3kguHFaG41Q8xlBX5dujHCyiIcFOKTC8Y/edit?tab=t.0 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
