jk_cp - a utility to copy files including permissions and libraries into a jail

jk_cp -j jail source

jk_cp -v -k -f -j jail source

jk_cp will copy any file into a jail on the identical location, with identical permissions and (if required) including any required libraries. It will remove any set user id (setuid) or set group id (setgid) permissions from all files and directories copied.

jk_cp -j /home/testchroot /usr/bin/cvs

will copy /usr/bin/cvs to /home/testchroot/usr/bin/cvs, and it will copy the libraries used by cvs also to the jail.

jk_cp -k -j /svr/testjail /usr/bin/firefox /usr/share/firefox

will hardlink /usr/bin/firefox and all files in /usr/share/firefox into jail /svr/testjail
