--- Comment #2 from dewa...@heuristicsystems.com.au --- (In reply to Please from comment #0) Perhaps changing the shell in /etc/master.passwd will solve the problem? Running as root using csh. When I define two users bob uses /bin/sh, alice uses /bin/tcsh using vipw. # jexec -U bob testjail $ echo $SHELL /bin/sh # jexec -U alice testjail > echo $SHELL /bin/tcsh # jexec -U bob testjail /bin/sh -c 'echo $SHELL' /bin/sh # jexec -U alice testjail /bin/sh -c 'echo $SHELL' /bin/tcsh which works nicely. However with # jexec -U bob testjail echo $SHELL /bin/csh The SHELL variable has been evaluated before entering the jail, while # jexec -U alice testjail sysctl kern.hostname kern.hostname: testjail With your example #jexec 1 /usr/local/bin/bash #echo $SHELL /bin/csh You're invoking the bash shell, which you are working in, within the jail, but examining the jailed user's SHELL variable, defined in passwd (or some dot file) I hope this is helpful and I suspect does what is expected. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
