Hello,

I have been hammering my head for the past 3 hours trying to get ping to work on a jail managed through ezjail.

As per the handbook indication, I set *export jail_jailname_parameters="allow.raw_sockets=1" *to*/usr/local/etc/ezjail/jailname *but it wouldn't allow pinging no matter what.

I don't understand what you are saying here.

Anyways I am not sure if that variable was working before, however it certainly doesn't anymore.

The solution was to add *export jail_**jailname**_parameters="allow.raw_sockets" *to*/usr/local/etc/ezjail/jailname*.

Yep easy as that, but it seriously gave me a headache to the point that I am about to throw up :). I believe the handbook should be edited and the corrected.

Sorry, I just don't understand.  That part says:

  When raw network sockets are actually needed in a jail, they can be
  enabled by editing the ezjail configuration file for the individual
  jail, /usr/local/etc/ezjail/jailname.  Modify the parameters entry:

  export jail_jailname_parameters="allow.raw_sockets=1"

"jailname" in both the paragraph and the configuration line are shown in italic because they are strings that the user is supposed to replace with the actual jail name.

Would it help to break up that paragraph into shorter sentences?

  jail, /usr/local/etc/ezjail/jailname.  Modify the parameters entry:
