Hi ebe,

I have given up for the moment. I have not been able to solve it. But i have posted a script which works fine. It creates the jail and user.

May be you can try to go thru the codes and see...

Its just strange why it doesnt work when i do it manually.. But the script works...

Good luck... If you find some light ....do let me know

cheers
