I've tried using the actual jail name, and the hostname to be sure - nothing - and on checking (jls -v) I'm somehow ending up with the Name being the same as the ID. I just put this down to a quirk/bug (it's there in 8.2-9) but it sounds like it's not an issue for anyone else. I'm defining them in rc.conf:

jail_enable="yes"
jail_list="one two three"

jail_agnet_rootdir="/usr/jail/one"
jail_agnet_hostname="one.mydomain.com"
jail_agnet_ip="123.123.123.123"
jail_agnet_devfs_enable="yes"
jail_agnet_devfs_ruleset="devfsrules_jail"

You've configured "one" and "two" and "three" in your jail_list, but quite oddly...

You have not defined "jail_one_*" or "jail_two_*" or "jail_three_*".

I'm extremely confused as to how your jail even started!

Sorry - should have said I'd obfuscated the IP addresses and hostnames (it's not really "one.mydomain.com" ;-) ) Unfortunately I forgot to obfuscate the jail name as fully as I thought in the startup lines. It should have read jail_one_rootdir &c.

As I said, it's been working happily for years on lots of different installations and they're all configured the same. The only weirdness is that the jail name appears in the table as it's number.

A further clarification - I know using the jail utility defaults the jail name to that of its ID if you don't specify one, and presume this is the mechanism messing it up here. However as I've gone to the trouble of configuring them in rc.conf with names, listing said names in jail_list and when commands like:

    service jail start one
    service jail stop one

work just fine, I don't see what I'm doing wrong! Incidentally, it doesn't matter if I start them at boot time or start/stop later - the jail name always sets to the jail-iD, and not the name specified. I suspect a bug in the rc.d script, but I can't be the first person to notice, can I??? I'll take a look.

Regards, Frank.
