Also use a new startup script on the host system /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ Thats it. > By 'clone', I meant an identical jail session, > on top of which I will install other packages, > not necessarily same on both. see above. > Also can I hardlink a tree (outside) to inside > the jail? assuming I don't mind it being writeable. > Would it open a hole to the rest of the system? You can use "mount_nullfs" from the host system. Or NFS to on the hostsystem. With that you can do a NFS mount from /usr/ports of the hostsystem to /jail/usr/ports. I do that with my jails.
