 # ezjail flavour example
-# refer to ezjail-admin(1) for more information
-#
-# ezjails jail init script tries to create the following users. Format is 
-# as follows:
-#
-# username:uid:group[,group,..]:gid[,gid,..]:comment:cryptpw:[-]homedir:shell
-#
-# Note: Since ' ' (space) does not survive shell expansion, still often is
-# useful in the comment field, '=' will be converted to ' '.
-#
-# Note: Always use ''' (single ticks) to provide variables containing '$'s
-#
-# Example:
-#
-# ezjail_flavour_users='::heroes:1003:::: \
-# admin::wheel::Admin=User:$1$p75bbfK.$Kz3dwkoVlgZrfLZdAXQt91:/home/admin:/bin/sh \
-# pgsql:1002:pgsql:1002:Post=Gres::-/usr/local/psql:/bin/nologin'
 
-# Files or directories that should not belong to root:wheel will be
-# chowned -R according to the following variable
+# Hide
+######
 #
-# Format is as follows:
+# Prevent this script from being called over and over
+# if something fails.
