NAME
     ezjail.conf -- configuration file for ezjail script

DESCRIPTION
     The  file	ezjail.conf  contains settings that control the operation of the
     ezjail rc(8) script. It is also read by the ezjail-admin utility to  figure
     out  where  it  should perform its actions. Its path is set at installation
     time to /usr/local/etc/ezjail.conf,  with	an  example  file  installed  at
     /usr/local/etc/ezjail.conf.sample.

     This file is really a shell script that is sourced by the ezjail-admin com-
     mand  at  run-time.   "(str)"  denotes  a	string; it should be enclosed in
     quotes if it contains space.  "(bool)" notes a boolean, whose possible val-
     ues are "YES" and "NO".
