Hello,
This is just a quick note that the problem mentioned in the Docker
wiki https://wiki.freebsd.org/Docker :
> {{{
> docker run -t -i centos /bin/bash
> jail: name cannot be numeric (unless it is the jid
> }}}
>
> Unknown: Noticed when re-running a container.
is not of an 'unknown' origin: it lies in sys/kern/kern_jail.c 's
detection of numeric JIDs, which dates back to 2009:
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/sys/kern/kern_jail.c?revision=285685&view=markup
else if (*namelc == '0' || (strtoul(namelc, &p, 10) != jid && *p == '\0')))
It thinks everything that starts with a '0' is numeric, and doesn't
check that it's the only character, e.g. namelc[1] == '\0'. This check
is incorrect for some of the hex jail names that Docker generates.
This is demonstrated by e.g. the following:
---> Running in 062a4f391fd9
jail: name cannot be numeric (unless it is the jid)
Should I send a PR?
Best regards,
