On previous servers, I ended up putting something in my rc.local, but as already mentioned, I'd very much prefer the rc.conf-sugar. This PR was filed about a year ago, and I'm a bit disappointed, because one of the main reasons for me to pick FreeBSD was the jail support, which is pretty amazing if you ask me, if only there was a way to start them *with* parameters... :-( Please do something. I know freebsd-questions is the wrong list for this (so I will be posting it to freebsd-jail as well), but my initial post ended up there. I don't care whether you end up with an /etc/jail.d as proposed in conf/116416, but IMHO, there should be some *documented* way, which is officially supported and available on a default installation of FreeBSD, to start a jail with all parameters advertised in the manpage. Please keep me in CC, I am not subscribed to freebsd-jail. Best regards, Moritz
