problems with jail

[Jim Stapleton]

oops, did a reply instead of reply all, sorry.

My question was "what's the best way to test net connectivity in jail,
csup?", and i did try csup (using a copy of my standard ports
supfile), it failed:

%csup -g -L 2 /etc/supfile-ports
Parsing supfile "/etc/supfile-ports"
Connecting to cvsup12.FreeBSD.org
Name lookup failure for "cvsup12.FreeBSD.org": hostname nor servname
provided, or not known
Will retry at 20:52:12


I'm only using one jail (it'll run apache, mysql and possibly sftp)

Thanks,
-Jim Stapleton
