Hello all.

When starting jails I always get an error like this one.

ln: /dev/log: Operation not permitted

I found an old BUG report with a patch that mentioned it. It also 
explained it was for a TRANSSITIONAL period.
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=179828

If I apply the patch, the error is gone, and everything works like it 
should.

regards
Johan Hendriks
