Gotcha.

The Ports section of the handbook mentions portmaster, portupgrade and
maybe even some others. If you include more options than only the one you
care about, maybe it could work. I have tried qjail, as have others I
know. I'm just saying ezjail has been a lot better for my use case at a
webhosting company, where we run many jails per server. You can say
"everyone who tries it stays with it" but there's nothing backing that
up... at all. I think the userbase is about as inflated as your ego as the
author. I don't recommend things based on their author's views (else I
wouldn't run OpenBSD firewalls :)) but the constant pushing of qjail as
the way and the true light you do really turns me off from it.

It may need some additions with the recent improvements, but I doubt it
needs a complete rewrite.

The FreeBSD team has very high standards for the handbook and
documentation in general. You're going into "the unprofessional area" by
submitting poorly-written documentation to the project and sending your
replies off-list.

It's only constructive if people agree with you, right?
