Hi everyone, 

First off I am new to FreeBSD. I use Linux professorially and really looking 
forward to getting some FreeBSD boxes in production as well. My apologies if my 
questions are noobish and I have tried Googling for some of them but with 
limited results so I figure I would ask for help from the Alpha dogs of FreeBSD 
on this list. 

So with hat in had I humbly request help in managing jails. I have set up a 
FreeBSD 8.0 install and patched it with freebsd-update. I then created a jail 
based on the instructions from the latest BSDMagazine. It seems to work great. 
Now my issue come in once I try to update the Jail with Freebsd-update. FYI, I 
installed the jail from sysinstall using the minimal distribution option. when 
I run Freebsd-update I was getting: 

Installing updates...chflags: ///libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Operation not permitted 

but after restarting the jail I now get "Cannot identify running kernel" The 
Apache server running on the jail seems to be working fine as is the ssh 
server. Any thought on this issue? Is there a preferred way to update the jail 
env? Remember, noob here, please go easy on me. :) 

Also is there issues with mixing the install of ports from source and via 
pkg_add? Good / bad to mix or no big deal. This is more of a general knowledge 
question, not implying I would be mixing the two types :) 

Thanks all and look forward to being a part of the FreeBSD community.
