Hello,

I have been hammering my head for the past 3 hours trying to get ping to 
work on a jail managed through ezjail.

As per the handbook indication, I set *export 
jail_jailname_parameters="allow.raw_sockets=1" 
*to*/usr/local/etc/ezjail/jailname *but it wouldn't allow pinging no 
matter what.

Anyways I am not sure if that variable was working before, however it 
certainly doesn't anymore.

The solution was to add *export 
jail_**jailname**_parameters="allow.raw_sockets" 
*to*/usr/local/etc/ezjail/jailname*.

Yep easy as that, but it seriously gave me a headache to the point that 
I am about to throw up :).  I believe the handbook should be edited and 
the corrected.
