>Description:
When configuring jails with numbers as their names, one can't start a jail named "0" (system panics) or "1" (cannot start jail "1").

Maybe this could just be documented, or better an error message should be printed by /etc/rc.d/jail, that numbers can't be used as jail names.

This problem exists in previous versions of FreeBSD, too.

>How-To-Repeat:
/etc/rc.conf:

jail_0_rootdir="/mnt/jail-0"
jail_0_hostname="foobar0.example.com"
jail_0_ip="nn.yy.zz.aa"
jail_0_devfs_enable="YES"
jail_0_interface="em0"

jail_1_rootdir="/mnt/jail-1"
jail_1_hostname="foobar1.example.com"
jail_1_ip="nn.yy.zz.aa"
jail_1_devfs_enable="YES"
jail_1_interface="em0

# /etc/rc.d/jail start 0
-> panic

# /etc/rc.d/jail start 1
