>Description:
        /etc/rc.d/jail attempts to create a symlink inside of a jail's devfs from ../var/log/run to /dev/log, as various applications expect
        syslogd's socket to be /dev/log. r221323 introduced a change that applies devfs.rules onto any directories or symlinks created
        inside of a devfs mount (eg, /dev) - this means that the /dev/log symlink gets hidden and said applications lose their ability to
        log (an example is security/php-suhosin port).
>How-To-Repeat:
	Upgrade to stable/8 >= r221323, start a jail and check for existence of $jailroot/dev/log symlink
>Fix:

	Expose the log symlink inside of jails by adding the path to the jail ruleset in /etc/defaults/devfs.rules
