[Bug 207587] jexec defaults to using "-u User"

[bugzilla-noreply]

Bug ID: 207587
   Summary: jexec defaults to using "-u User"
   Product: Documentation
   Version: Latest
  Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
  Severity: Affects Many People
  Priority: ---
 Component: Documentation
  Assignee: freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.org
  Reporter: dewa...@heuristicsystems.com.au

It would avoid confusion if the "man 8 jexec" clearly stated that the base
host's environment was used in the jailed system,

For example: The intent of what is "desired" in the jail is demonstrated in the
path.

# jexec -u root b2 printenv |grep PATH
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/root/bin
# jexec -U root b2 printenv | grep PATH
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin

Suggestion:
Change
 -u username
 The user name from host environment as whom the command should
 run.
to
 -u username
 The user name from host environment as whom the command should
 run.  This is the default.
