>Description:
Building jails does not work as perscribed in the man (8) jail docs. The default shell for root on a new and stock FreeBSD box is csh, the instruction include the line:
D=/path/to/your/jail
...which does not work under csh, this returns a Command Not Found error.
>How-To-Repeat:
switch to csh, try to build a jail using the supplied instructions from the jail(8) manpage.

...
user@box# csh
user@box# D=/path/to/your/jail
D=/path/to/your/jail: Command not found.
user@box#

>Fix:
jail manpage currently reads:

     D=/here/is/the/jail
     cd /usr/src
     mkdir -p $D
     make world DESTDIR=$D
     cd etc
     make distribution DESTDIR=$D
     mount_devfs devfs $D/dev
     cd $D
     ln -sf dev/null kernel

...and should read:
     set D=/here/is/the/jail
     cd /usr/src
     mkdir -p $D
     make world DESTDIR=$D
     cd etc
     make distribution DESTDIR=$D
     mount_devfs devfs $D/dev
     cd $D
     ln -sf dev/null kernel
... or specify that the instructions do not work under csh.
