You don't.
rc.conf uses bourne shell syntax. The entries are all variable
initializations. "jail_forest-friend_rootdir" is illegal as a variable
name -- you can't have a '-' character in there.
I suggest you /call/ your jail forest_friend and use that form in
everything that appears on the LHS of an assignment in rc.conf.
Of course, there's no problem with using the form 'forest-friend' on the
RHS of any assignments, so long as it's properly quoted, of course.
Cheers,
Matthew
