Hi --

I recently upgraded one of my servers from stable/9 to stable/10 which worked 
pretty well.

But, there are some questions left:

1) ezjail/jails
---------------
I am using ezjail to administrate my jails. During jail startup I will get 
warnings like:

| WARNING: Per-jail configuration via jail_* variables is obsolete.
| Please consider to migrate to /etc/jail.conf.

I did read the corresponding section in /usr/src/UPDATING, but I do have to 
admit that I do not understand clearly whether it is save to wait for a 
modified ezjail port, or better get that fixed by myself. All jails are running 
as expected, though.

2) portaudit/jailaudit
----------------------
poudriere tells me that the portaudit port is obsolete now, and that I should 
use "pkg audit" instead. Well that's ok, but now the jailaudit port is skipped 
because it depends on portaudit.

Well, I did find /usr/local/etc/periodic/security/410.pkg-audit, but that lacks 
the functionality to check security vulnerabilities of my ports running in 
jails.

3) /usr/local/etc/periodic/daily/490.status-pkg-changes
-------------------------------------------------------
Again, this script lacks the functionality to monitor changes in installed 
packages in jails.



Regarding 2) and 3) I hacked two scripts to deal with jails. Actually, I 
"stole" code from the portaudit, jailaudit, and 490.status-pkg-changes. Both 
scripts are kept in /usr/local/etc/periodic/daily and 
/usr/local/etc/periodic/security respectively and are triggered by specific 
configuration variables in /etc/periodic.conf

IMHO it would be better to deal with jails within 410.pkg-audit and 
490.status-pkg-changes, preferably triggered by configuration variables on 
demand, only.

Doing that professionally for FreeBSD is far beyond my own scripting 
capabilities, sorry. But if someone is willing to add monitoring of 
vulnerabilities of ports installed in jails and monitoring changes in installed 
packages in jails, and if that person will be interested in getting my dirty 
hacked scripts, just let me know.

Regards and thanks to all persons involved in getting FBSD 10 done,
Michael
