That's exactly what I'd expect to see. When you run pkg_info(1)
within the jail, it looks for the contents of /var/db/pkg *within the
jail* You can't see the package data for packages you install from the
base system when you're in the jail. You'ld have to install the
packages from inside the jail for that to show up.
Be aware that On-Lamp article was written in reference to FreeBSD 4.x
-- some things are a bit different with FreeBSD 5.x. You should have
sendmail in the base system unless you've disable building it by
putting 'NO_SENDMAIL=yes' into /etc/make.conf. You won't have perl as
part of the base in 5.x -- you will definitely have to install from
ports/packages to get that.
Cheers,
Matthew
