            Bug ID: 260248
           Summary: jails: depend parameter does not work in modular jail
                    files (conf.d)
           Product: Base System
           Version: 13.0-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: conf
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: v_bachvarov@mail.bg

When using multiple modular jail.conf files under /etc/jail.conf.d it is not
possible at the moment to make one jail depend on another. The depend parameter
does not work across the different jail.conf files.

How to reproduce:
- Create two jails in separate files: /etc/jail.conf.d/j1.conf and
/etc/jail.conf.d/j2.conf
- Make one of the jails (j1) depend on the other (j2)
- Call "service jail start j1"

Expected output:
- The jails are started in the correct order: j2, then j1.

Actual output:
- The command fails with the error that jail "j2" is not found.

Workaround: The sysrc variable "jail_list" can be used to define in which order
the jails should be started and stopped. It would be better though to let jail
calculate the order.
