ifconfig problem in FreeBSD Jail

Thu Mar 15 12:34:19 UTC 2012

Hi Kurt,

Thanks for prompt reply.

I got the following output:

ifconfig em0 10.1.27.82 netmask 255.255.255.0

ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCDIFADDR): permission denied

I am not able to know where I have to configure so that jail got permissions
for ipconfig.

Which command are you typing and what is the error message ?

> ifconfig

Looks fine, you have an ethernet interface called em0, but it has no IP
addresses assigned.

The command:

ifconfig em0 192.168.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0

would assign one. Give it a try!
