Also ran into a problem using the method you described of make
installworld DESTDIR=$D

doing that failed to install quite a few files. /etc/ is almost
completely unpopulated. Doesn't even know who root is!

(from inside the jail)
====================
# ls etc/
X11             fstab           mail            ntp             ppp   
         rc.d            ssh
bluetooth       gnats           mtree           pam.d          
rc.conf         resolv.conf     ssl
defaults        isdn            namedb          periodic       
rc.conf~        skel
#

(rc.conf  and resolv.conf are edits i made following the man page)

My exact sequences were as follows...


>From silvani (the host) (codecastle.com is my private internal network)

I ran /bin/sh (since no offense but I can't stand csh)

# cd /usr/src
# cvsup -g -L 2 /usr/sup/current-supfile
# D=/usr/local/LOCKBOX/virtual-tree/development/devel.codecastle.com
# mkdir -p $D
# ls -alh /usr/local/LOCKBOX/virtual-tree/development/
total 10
drwxr-xr-x   5 root  wheel      512B Oct  3 13:47 .
drwxr-xr-x   4 root  wheel      512B Sep 30 00:19 ..
drwxrwxr-x   2 root  operator   512B Oct  3 00:28 .snap
drwxr-xr-x  16 root  wheel      512B Oct  3 13:47 desktop.codecastle.com
drwxr-xr-x  16 root  wheel      512B Oct  3 13:41 devel.codecastle.com

# make buildworld
# make installworld DESTDIR=$D
# jail /usr/local/LOCKBOX/virtual-tree/development/devel.codecastle.com
192.168.1.5 /bin/sh
# touch /etc/fstab
# echo 'nameserver 4.2.2.1' >> /etc/resolv.conf
# echo 'nameserver 4.2.2.3' >> /etc/resolv.conf

[Then i hand edited /etc/rc.conf to add the appropriate entries as
shown in the man page for jail]

Then I did this...

# passwd root
passwd: root: no such user
#

Which prompted me to check the /etc dir for passwd and master.passwd.
As the above ls showed there were a truckload of files missing just in
the /etc/ dir itself.

Any ideas?
