It would avoid confusion if the "man 8 jexec" clearly stated that the base host's environment was used in the jailed system, For example: The intent of what is "desired" in the jail is demonstrated in the path. # jexec -u root b2 printenv |grep PATH PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/root/bin # jexec -U root b2 printenv | grep PATH PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin Suggestion: Change -u username The user name from host environment as whom the command should run. to -u username The user name from host environment as whom the command should run. This is the default.
