Yes. Are you configuring the jail via /etc/rc.conf already? Are you
using the rc script /etc/rc.d/jail to start your jails?

My complete config from /etc/rc.conf is:

| # Enable jails
| jail_enable=3D"YES"
| jail_list=3D"cachingdns"
|=20
| # Caching-nameserver jail
| jail_cachingdns_hostname=3D"ns1.example.com"
| jail_cachingdns_ip=3D"192.0.2.15"
| jail_cachingdns_interface=3D"bge0"
| jail_cachingdns_rootdir=3D"/var/jails/caching-dns"
| jail_cachingdns_exec=3D"/usr/local/sbin/named"
| jail_cachingdns_devfs_enable=3D"YES"
| jail_cachingdns_devfs_ruleset=3D"devfsrules_thin_jail"

You can replace cachingdns with cp or whatever else you want. You can
also create multiple jails with different names.

I don't know if you're following the typical FreeBSD jail documentation
which gives you a complete FreeBSD installation inside the jail. Given
that I only need to run named, I have not done that.

Are you trying to run a complete FreeBSD install that allows user logins
inside your jail? Or are you simply trying to jail a single process? My
example above jails the single process named, and does not have an OS
install inside the jail's root.
