I have the MFC reminder sitting in my inbox, since the original commit received such feedback about bsdconfig being a better replacement, but I haven't had a chance to go review the best change to make in master (and then MFC).

The docs still reference using sysinstall to setup a jail when it hasn't been that since at least 2011 https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=jail&sektion=8&manpath=freebsd-release-ports Start a shell in the jail: jail -c path=/data/jail/testjail mount.devfs \ host.hostname=testhostname ip4.addr=192.0.2.100 \ command=/bin/sh Assuming no errors, you will end up with ashell prompt within the jail.

That's a useful skill too. Not just here but in Solaris, AIX and Linux. IMO every sysadmin should have a rudimentary nroff markup skill. But if the markup is indeed an impediment, just sending in text will work too. -- Cheers, Cy Schubert FreeBSD UNIX: Web: http://www.FreeBSD.org The need of the many outweighs the greed of the few. ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

I recall sending multiple patches because I didn't want to patch brand new FreeBSD systems after installing the ISO (they were plastic discs then). (We used FreeBSD for infrastructure servers at $JOB at the time.)
