Re: Passing additional options to jail(8) via rc.conf

Can I possibly make this a feature request? :) Alright, just for the record, apparently there is a (suspended) PR (conf/142972) which requests /etc/rc.d/jail to be switched over to new style jail(8) invocation (with -c/-m parameters), which, unlike old-style invocation supports passing additional parameters, which has worked for me in the past, when done by hand. On previous servers, I ended up putting something in my rc.local, but as already mentioned, I'd very much prefer the rc.conf-sugar. This PR was filed about a year ago, and I'm a bit disappointed, because one of the main reasons for me to pick FreeBSD was the jail support, which is pretty amazing if you ask me, if only there was a way to start them *with* parameters... :-( Please do something. I know freebsd-questions is the wrong list for this (so I will be posting it to freebsd-jail as well), but my initial post ended up there. I don't care whether you end up with an /etc/jail.d as proposed in conf/116416, but IMHO, there should be some *documented* way, which is officially supported and available on a default installation of FreeBSD, to start a jail with all parameters advertised in the manpage.

I wasn't subscribed to freebsd-questions either, back in July. I had some FreeBSDs running before, but I really wasn't reading any mailing lists. I thought I should ask -questions first, because it is the most busy one, with all the chatter and noise. Guess I will either patch jail(8) or do it via rc.local on 8.2 and wait for the release of 9, which seems to be quite an improvement in general. I'm also not that actively involved in FreeBSD, and I try not to subscribe too many mailing lists in general. I thought the PR was the only thing there was, and google tricked me into believing this. Maybe someone could close the PR in case this is resolved. My apologies. Thanks to Jamie for adding support for the config file.
