inn 2.5.1 in freebsd jail with buffindexed

I used the db47 port instead, and compiled INN from source.

Julien already mentioned that you compiled your INN with ovdb support
which doesn't make sense if you plan to use buffindexed instead.

I upgraded from 2.4.6 to 2.5.1 a couple of days ago. My server runs FBSD
7.2, and I do have some service jails (administration by ezjail)
installed. One hosts my reader INN, and here I do use ovdb without any
issues. If you opt for ovdb instead of buffindexed then I would highly
recommend for adding "--with-zlib" (new compression mode for ovdb).

I use ...
| ezjail_procfs_enable="NO"
| ezjail_fdescfs_enable="NO"
... instead. I do not need those two options in all my jails.

Shot in the dark: FBSD 8.0 is out some days now. There's a lot of
improvements regarding jails. But I'm not sure if this involves shared
memory as well, actually I doubt.
