If possible, can you post all of the steps? > jail_enable="YES" > jail_list="wotan" > jail_wotan_rootdir="/jails/wotan" > jail_wotan_hostname="wotan.mycompany.com" > jail_wotan_ip="192.168.24.123" > jail_wotan_devfs_enable="YES" > jail_wotan_devfs_ruleset="wotan_ruleset" > > I then did /etc/rc.d/jail /start wotan `/etc/rc.d/jail start wotan` # notice no forward slash in front of 'start' Also, I don't see a "jail_exec_start" statement nor a "jail_wotan_exec_start" statement anywhere. This could easily cause problems. You should have something like: jail_wotan_exec_start="/bin/sh /etc/rc" # command to execute in jail for starting jail_wotan_exec_stop="/bin/sh /etc/rc.shutdown" # command to execute in jail for stopping Somewhere. If you remove the "wotan" from the above, then that will be the default setting. > > and that didn't work, giving the following lines: > > Starting jails: cannot start jail "wotan": > jail: getpwnam: root: no such file or directory Does /jails/wotan/etc/passwd, /jails/wotan/etc/master.passwd, /jails/wotan/etc/pwd.db, and /jails/wotan/etc/spwd.db exist? > I googled a bit, but only find a reference to this on the -current > list, regarding ZFS, which I'm not using. Red herring, methinks.
