ezjail.flavour

[Andrew Hotlab]

It seems that FreeBSD 8 does not like to start rc scripts named *.sh. Here is a little
patch for the script ezjail-admin which seems to fix the problem.

     fi


I think ezjail urgently needs some updates in order not to remain behind the new
features in FreeBSD which can dramatically improve the jail system usage (vnet,
ZFS, multiple FIB support, etc).  I'm not a shell script expert, but my everyday
work gives me the chance to have a pretty high-level view on what is needed.  I'll be
glad to be contacted off-list by someone with some shell scripting skills and a few
hours of spare time to spend with me on this very useful tool.
