Setting the jail identifier from /etc/rc.conf

[Ed Schouten]

Hi,

I haven't played with Jails for a long time, but I wanted to figure out
how hard it is to make init spawn getties for certain jails. It
shouldn't be too hard (jexec foo /usr/libexec/getty), but I can't seem
to find a way to set the jid to a certain value from within rc.conf.

It also seems jids cannot contain dots, which means I cannot set the jid
equal to the hostname of the jail.

Maybe a Jail hacker can give me some advice here? Wouldn't it be more
sane if the kernel just used the hostname as an identifier if there is
no jail with the same hostname yet? Or maybe we should at least provide
a config tunable for this?
