Oh and before I forget, the trickiest thing for me moving from ezjail
to jail was updating. Assuming your jails are complete base systems and
that you would like to use binary updates with freebsd-update, and you
have completely sparated jails without any funny tricks to save space,
here is Ike's simple jail update guide:

edit the jail's freebsd-update.conf and change

Components src world kernel
-to-
Components world

then run freebsd-update like so:

# freebsd-update -b /usr/jails/jaildir \
	-f usr/jails/jaildir/etc/freebsd-update.conf \
	-d /usr/jails/jaildir/var/db/freebsd-update fetch
# freebsd-update -b /usr/jails/jaildir \
	-f /usr/jails/jaildir/etc/freebsd-update.conf \
	-d /usr/jails/jaildir/var/db/freebsd-update install

Using the -f flag keeps the jail from using the host config since jails
cannot update kernels anyway. And -d keeps jails and hosts from
trampling each other which is nice if you want to do more than one at a
time, or if you use freebsd-update cron.
