Hi all,

here's another one of my burning questions even freebsd.org, google and
dejanews couldn't answer.

I keep getting more users who request a shell account, so I've set up a
simple chroot environment for them to play inside. I've set up chrsh
<http://www.aarongifford.com/computers/chrsh.html>; to have the users
chroot()ed to their little homedir at login time, copied a small subset
of the bin and usr directories inside and "MAKEDEV jail"ed the most
basic dev entries.

All apps that I need work lovely... except screen-3.9.8_3 which keeps
whining "Must be connected to a terminal." (Other apps like ssh1 don't
complain)

I have satisfied its dependencies (ldd /usr/local/bin/screen) and I seem
to have the necessary dev/ entries.... Are there any pointers to look
at?

Thanks,
walter
