about Jail....

[treeJ]

My about FreeBSD of question are as below. I have been complete install and smooth work Jail environment. And I carte some server serves as like Web-server MySQL server and FTP server ……ex. Each of Jail environments cannot ping other Jail environment and host. And I use smbclient to get CIFS share area of host in each of Jail environments. Then I try to use soft-link ([cmd=]ln -s[/cmd]) for host`s directory to Jail's directory and I try mount host's directory to Jail's directory, but I cannot see any host's files in Jail environments.

What solution that can let me link host's directory and Jail's directory?

Thank you.

Hello,
Raw sockets for pings are disabled in jails by default. Do this.
# echo 'security.jail.allow_raw_sockets=1' >> /etc/sysctl.conf
# sysctl security.jail.allow_raw_sockets=1

And if I understand what you are trying to do correctly, you can access files from the host using nullfs() similar to how sysutils/ezjail mounts the basejail for each jail.

As an example...
/etc/fstab.ftpjail

/usr/jails/basejail /usr/jails/ftpjail/basejail nullfs ro 0 0

You can add additional entries and make it like this.

/usr/jails/basejail /usr/jails/ftpjail/basejail nullfs ro 0 0
/zfs/shared /usr/jails/ftpjail/zfs/shared nullfs rw 0 0
