I have a prototype of newsyslog converted to a UCL based config file as well. The jail.conf file may need a little tweaking (UCL uses the dot delimiter differently, so the name or structure of some of the variables may need to change slightly) As with my change to newsyslog, the new config format will use a 'version sentinel' at the top of the file, if that is not present, the config file will be parsed with the legacy code. --=20 Allan Jude --XpQjUldiSsDVR6pF8TubuRWSKbhV4QRoe Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (MingW32) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJUyAu7AAoJEJrBFpNRJZKfkYMQAKQlkvQKz12QDpMeF3/SKai8 q5G4pTnGeKEp4s6F0aNzN+EhkTnXrNwZvEF9OjtfMpGyGmQmzT/PJFReP4YY/Ukt ZLHBiK/AlSxZiOdv6kbwJF6tNGCV+Ctm2S3lbDhtuY9KHq9F0azyz3nvG2LTZcd/ YEpi7slMdtzMNNHjCbncTELaklN7oW8mO0qOCAfYfXQFTrQqzUT3ng7Jo2+89QJa gWWqSktF//npOvnUVKlQlCaZY2BAo4pQbqgheILG/apNfyE/06ue618xdDzJx6/F blPb86SuXFjxHpLvR/q7FXrafS+C66S8TA/X2VKJr3qw2YYd8sY7usdlEKfSV776 +DX7JhPAtRuDnZf9lSwZsbWxY9OKpdIhrKtZQ+J64gry9y50cQjJ/5ogTqr9vTzv nSc43TIl9GUFV3LZYkBY5t9l7i85dePlszuSZzJy7rJXzLb9EryUd39aVLmTB2Pp sHgj2XAyZmYi/RaVH0dHzI2uJnmRrGK8OkJ1SQglJYoSmKvMVgQTy+fHatyu4oxJ LSMOLcqhagUR+NYBDkgDMGEwCYf02R6FUVJI8DQxpMwyFwO/ck+i5xD053EvfnHN TXuZkkbD39VIrCcw6/WwKp1UCrK7XAgwyOFbKuRPaZUQt55e9f6r1VTeMW5/e8AL 9iA19UEP3rDe+0dWoj/v =kN+q -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --XpQjUldiSsDVR6pF8TubuRWSKbhV4QRoe--
