Previously posted to -questions: In my quest to get asterisk+iaxmodem+hylafax working together in a jail I've run into one final roadblock. I can't seem to figure out how to create a symbolic link (ln -s doesn't work) in /dev in the jail environment while in the jailed environment. When trying to create a link with ln I receive: ln -s somedev targetdev ln: targetdev: Operation not permitted Adding a link entry to devfs.conf in the jail fails too since it receives the same error. I can create a link in the jailed /dev from the host environment, so there seems to be some restriction on creating links in /dev while in the jail. The reason I need to be able to do this is that iaxmodem needs to create a /dev/ttyIAX device to point to the correct ttyp* device when it starts in the jail.Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Have you tried to change the devfs ruleset? Try to boot up a jail without any devfs restrictions and see if your devfs.conf alias works then.
Search for jail_example_devfs in /etc/defaults/rc.conf, and have a look at /etc/defaults/devfs.rules. I guess specifying jail_example_devfs_ruleset="" is enough to disable the rules.
If you succeed, you will need to find some way of enforcing rules, but allowing what you want. Running a jail without devfs rules gives the jail too much access to the system.
