Talk:Jail

From Gentoo Linux Wiki

Wtf! There is no info on copying /etc/resolv.conf instead of playing with hostx Also, copying /etc/terminfo to the jail and ,,mknod /chroot/dev/ptmx c 5 2 fixes the screen issues.

In my system

Linux main 2.6.16.29-xen #3 SMP Sun Oct 15 13:15:34 BST 2006 x86_64 AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 246 AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

I needed to copy another file:

cp /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /var/chroot/lib64

[edit] Irssi and screen in Jail

I did everything mentioned here and the forum thread in the end of this article. And now:

Screen:

prisoner@myhostname ~ $ screen Must be connected to a terminal.

Irssi:

14:13 -!- Irssi: Looking up irc.inet.fi 14:13 -!- Irssi: Connecting to irc.inet.fi [0.0.0.0] port 6667 14:13 -!- Irssi: Unable to connect server irc.inet.fi port 6667 [Address family not supported by protocol]

hi! i am sure you found/worte this here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-3179496.html on the screen problem. now, the irssi thing is either wrong irssi.conf, 0.0.0.0 does not look like a valid ipo to connect to. or you need some basic networking stuff in your chroot, like a resolv.conf and maybe something else. i stopped using jail and i use jailkit, which has a howto here but it is not officially in portage. although it has a good user base and the ebuilds should be somewhere in an overlay. you might want to try it, or look there how networking is done in chroots. good luck, --the_mgt 14:45, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

You can 'emerge host' then 'hostx irc.inet.fi' to get the ip address outside the jail and enter it manually in the jail. will edit the mail article Thewtex 05:50, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
