Hi

  I've seen this and from my experience it could be any of these:

   1) disabling dns on sshd (UseDNS no  in /etc/ssh/sshd_config)
   2) don't perform vi housekeeping (virecover_enable="NO" in /etc/rc.conf)
   3) add your jail's fqdn to the jail's /etc/hosts

  Also take a look at your /var/log/jail_<name>.log or the jail's var/log/*
