Users unknown in jail, what to do?

[Ruben Bloemgarten]

Hi Gabor,

I figured as much. A tip: install your "base" tools first, things like
freebsd-update, portupgrade, webmin, etc. configure those and then tar the
/path/to/jail directory. That will give you a nice clean system to fall back
on and replicate whenever you need a new jail, and save you a lot of time. 

Regards, 

Ruben

Hello,

thanks. Actually, I just did a make installworld DESTDIR=/path/to/jail, 
I didn't follow the steps in jail(8) exactly and that was the problem. I 
should have done a make distribution DESTDIR=/path/to/jail from 
/usr/src/etc.

Thanks,

Gabor
