Hello, I followed the guide @ http://www.howtoforge.org/chroot_ssh_sftp_debian_etch and setup a working chrooted shell/sftp I managed to add some applications by adding them into the create_chroot_env script written there, and most of them worked fine. I had to copy some lib files to get some working. However there is one essential application I need, screen. I cannot get it to work on the chrooted shell. The first error I had was something like: Error: Must be connected to a terminal. I somehow fixed this by mounting proc in the chroot dir and then I get the error: Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/1' - please check. I then mounted that also and it seemed to work and the screen window would open, but then I would get the error: No More PTYs If anyone could help me out I would be extremely greatful. It is pretty essential that screen is able to run in the chroot. thanks N
sorry for the double post but I could really do with some help here.. If anyone has any suggestions I am willing to try them
damn o well I will keep working on this hopefully I will find some solution! I do have another question tho.. Is it possible to create super users in the jail that are chrooted to the jail? or if not ,is it possible to allow a user to perform sudo in the jail? I am wondering this becuase is it possible to compile programs specifically inside the jail so the lib etc. etc. are all written to the files inside the jailed directories. I hope what i said is clear N
Ok I found a way to get screen working Firstly add the relevant application path to create_chroot_env or whatever script you are using copy required lib files (cant be more specific, sorry) then you need to mount the following (this is how I got it to work): Code: mount -o bind /dev /home/chroot/dev mount -t proc proc /home/chroot/proc mount -t devpts devpts /home/chroot/dev/pts remember you will need the directories there to mount to
