NAME
       jk_jailuser - a utility to put an existing user in a jail

SYNOPSIS
       jk_jailuser [OPTIONS] <username> [more usernames]

       jk_jailuser --jail=/path/to/jail <username>

DESCRIPTION
       The  jk_jailuser  utility  will  change  the shell of an existing user <username> to jk_chrootsh and change the home directory to
       <jail>/./<previous-home-directory>, and it will add the user to  <jail>/etc/passwd.  On  *BSD  systems  this  is  <jail>/etc/mas‐
       ter.passwd and pwd_mkdb is used to generate the other password files.

       The jk_jailuser utility will abort if the <jail>/etc/passwd file is missing, or if the shell is missing in the jail.

       If  <previous-home-directory>  was already inside the jail, a /./ separator is placed on the correct location in the path. If the
       previous home directory was not in the jail, it is changed. In interactive mode you are asked if you want to move  the  contents.
       In non-interactive mode the contents are only moved if the --move option is specified.

OPTIONS
       -j --jail=jail
              The jail directory to use. This jail should exist, and should have at least <jail>/etc/passwd

       -v --verbose
              Will give verbose output

       -h --help
              The help screen

       -m --move
              Move  the  contents  of  the home directory inside the jail. If in interactive mode, jk_jailuser will ask if the directory
              should be moved if that is necessary. In non-interactive mode this option is disabled by default.

       -n --noninteractive
              No user interaction.

       -s --shell=shell
              The shell to use inside the jail. Defaults to /usr/sbin/jk_lsh
