using the ServiceJail model, after populating the jail skeleton and
running mergemaster, the two commands i run are,
/usr/bin/cap_mkdb /j/jSKEL/etc/login.conf
/usr/sbin/pwd_mkdb -d /j/jSKEL/etc -p /j/j/etc/master.passwd
which should take care of that.

hm. i did not do that this time around. i'd built my jail-world with
*both* NO_MAILWRAPPER=true & NO_SENDMAIL=true, so i mayhave caused
myself a problem.
rather than cp'ing bins, tobe safe, i'll just rebuild world ... and
see in a bit if that helps.
thanks.

if that's true, then that renders the rest moot -- and i have a problem.
atm, i have
cat /etc/fstab
/dev/mirror/gm0s1a /bootdir ufs rw 1 1
/dev/mirror/gm0s1b none swap sw 0 0
/dev/acd0 /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0
/j/jMROOT /j/jTEST nullfs ro 0 0
/j/s/jTEST /j/jTEST/s nullfs rw 0 0
zfs list
NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT
z 5.23G 213G 250M /z
z/data 20K 213G 20K /data
z/home 28.5K 213G 28.5K /home
z/j 23K 213G 23K /j
z/tmp 406K 213G 406K /tmp
z/usr 4.88G 213G 4.88G /usr
z/var 105M 213G 105M /var
where z/j is a zfs mount.
i *can* access the jail, and do just about 'all' i need to in the jail
(builds, exec, etc).
but do *not* yet know if, by running the jail on zfs space whehter
i've compromised anything.
do you have a reference for your comment? or, perhaps, someone else
can comment, as well?
thanks!
