Error in code listing in 14.5.1

Dear FreeBSD Docs team,

I think I found a mistake in the docs for jail application.

https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/jails-application.html
Section 14.5.1., listing 5:

# ln -s s/usr-local usr/local
# ln -s s/usr-X11R6 usr/X11R6
# ln -s s/distfiles usr/ports/distfiles

Didn't work for me because the paths of 's' need to link to the parent directory.

However, the listing in the German docs seems to be working:
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/de_DE.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/jails-application.html
Section 16.6.1.2., listing 5:

# ln -s ../s/usr-local usr/local
# ln -s ../s/usr-X11R6 usr/X11R6
# ln -s ../../s/distfiles usr/ports/distfiles


Didn't try the rest of the tutorial, though.

Hope this helps! :)


Best regards,
Anton
