sorry to bother again, but is there anybody that has been dealing with issues regarding creating chrooted enviroment in FreeBSD6.0 (i didn't have such problem in previous releases: 5.4, 5.1 etc..)? Some help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tzachi.

Sorry,
We are using:
FreeBSD freebsd6.0 6.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE #0: Thu Nov 3 09:36:13 UTC 2005 root@x64.samsco.home:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386
We tried:
1) To create only /dev/null and /dev/zero (that configuration worked in FreeBSD 5.4)
2) To create the same /dev contents via: tar -cf - /dev | tar -xf -
The original system has /dev mounted as: devfs on /dev (devfs, local)

The very simple C program doesn't run in chroot:
int main() {
if (open ("/dev/null", O_WRONLY) == -1) {
perror ("open");
}
}
It issues: "open: Operation not supported".
PS: It seems like if we mount devfs to the chrooted env - everything works. The problem is that chroot directory can be placed everywhere, but mount doesn't accept very long path:
# mount -t devfs none dev
mount_devfs: File name too long
# pwd
/tmp/build.debugger-php-4.0.6.5269/debugger-php-4.0.6-DEBUG_SERVER_5_1_0_RC3_20051215
