Hi. Has the documentation team approved any of this already? I've noticed
a few mistakes ("Then about RELEASE 5.4," "from malice actions on a Local
Are Network," spelling/grammar mistakes, many others) so I'm assuming not.
I also see you're pushing the sysutils/qjail port for users who don't want
to configure things themselves. In my experience, ezjail is a much better
solution. I also see that you are the maintainer/author of qjail and like
to shovel your opinion as the only solution, both in this "rewrite" and
all over the FreeBSD forums.

Do we even need an updated version? I trust the documentation team to
write one much more than a biased port maintainer with a poor grasp of
English. It's not my native language either, but this needs some serious
work.

This is funny.
