This was it. I should not have used the root-account inside the jails
with zsh. I now use the toor account on zsh and put the shell of root
back to csh everywhere.

However, I don't understand why zsh is invoked, since all rc.d-scripts
have shebang lines telling them to use /bin/sh? I'm a bit confused,
maybe can someone give a bit light on this...

However, it works now.

Thanks,
