About FreeBSD jails administration tools

[Michael DeMan]

Hi,

At one time or another we have used a variety of the ports based jail  
management tools, including trying to manage jails via webmin.

At the end of the day, we have simply found it easiest (on FBSD5.4  
anyway) to just use the regular startup script stuff and manage the  
jails manually.

Right now the ports toolset for jail management is really chaotic and  
do not play nice with each other.

This is not a knock on the developers by any means, even having any  
jail tools in the ports system is a good thing, but all the work just  
needs to be consolidate into one or two packages.

My 2-cents anyway.
