Having a jail log into the base system is a security issue in the
making. Can't you do this in a safer way by doing remote logging to the
base system rather than having the jail hold on to a file handle that
belongs outside the jail?
It's certainly possible to maintain these kinds of capabilities, but
you would have to convince code reviewers that the same results can't be
achieved some other way that's easier to secure.
