I setup a ssh chroot jail following this[1] guide. It works for my user to login, use ls and use scp which is all I really want. I do have a problem I cannot solve: when connected and navigating the filesystem, the backspace key actually moves the cursor forward and does not delete what I type. I may have found a hint from some googling that readline will read in /etc/inputrc on login but if this is true, I am unsure what component of readline might I require to copy over from the live system into the chroot jail. For reference, I include the tree view of the chroot jail I created below. Thank you kindly for any suggestions. % tree -a /var/jail /var/jail ├── .bashrc ├── bin -> usr/bin ├── dev │ ├── null │ ├── random │ ├── tty │ └── zero ├── etc │ ├── group │ ├── inputrc │ ├── passwd │ └── profile ├── lib -> usr/lib ├── lib64 -> usr/lib64 └── usr ├── bin │ ├── bash │ ├── ls │ └── scp ├── lib │ ├── libcap.so.2 │ ├── libc.so.6 │ ├── libdl.so.2 │ ├── libncursesw.so.6 │ ├── libnss3.so │ ├── libnssckbi-p11-kit.so │ ├── libnssckbi.so │ ├── libnss_compat-2.23.so │ ├── libnss_compat.so │ ├── libnss_compat.so.2 │ ├── libnss_db-2.23.so │ ├── libnssdbm3.chk │ ├── libnssdbm3.so │ ├── libnss_db.so │ ├── libnss_db.so.2 │ ├── libnss_dns-2.23.so │ ├── libnss_dns.so │ ├── libnss_dns.so.2 │ ├── libnss_files-2.23.so │ ├── libnss_files.so │ ├── libnss_files.so.2 │ ├── libnss_hesiod-2.23.so │ ├── libnss_hesiod.so │ ├── libnss_hesiod.so.2 │ ├── libnss_myhostname.so.2 │ ├── libnss_mymachines.so.2 │ ├── libnss_nis-2.23.so │ ├── libnss_nisplus-2.23.so │ ├── libnss_nisplus.so │ ├── libnss_nisplus.so.2 │ ├── libnss_nis.so │ ├── libnss_nis.so.2 │ ├── libnss_resolve.so.2 │ ├── libnsssysinit.so │ ├── libnssutil3.so │ ├── libnss_winbind.so │ ├── libnss_winbind.so.2 │ ├── libnss_wins.so │ ├── libnss_wins.so.2 │ └── libreadline.so.6 └── lib64 └── ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 9 directories, 53 files 1. http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/debian-ubuntu-restricting-ssh-user-session-to-a-directory-chrooted-jail/ _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
