how about environment variables? Im not
sure if vi makes use of the setting TERM=VT100.

hey wait... when you said "vi", did you mean "vi" or "vim"?
the traditional vi uses the letters H,J,K and L to navigate
across the screen/terminal document.

There are still old *Nix's other there that use the traditional
vi.

Based from what you said, I also experienced the `jumbling` of letters. It was 
fixed though when I installed the vim-full package. I don't know what happened 
to your system. hehe. :)

VI does not actually crash when I try to run it. It just simply won't function 
properly. Let say for instance you are under edit mode and you type in the 
arrow keys (not the numerical keypad) to navigate. Instead of the normal 
navigation function, it will jumble all letters (making it uppercase, etc..)

@Rivdan
Yes, vim-full was installed already before I configure SSH to be chrooted. 
Before I have difficulties on running other editors like PICO/NANO but I found 
out that there are still libraries to be included such as xterm. So I included 
it on the bash script and now it is working properly. I just couldn't find any 
information on VI. :(

@Ron Michael

>> What do you mean load needed libraries on it?
I'm referring on VI not the system. 


>> Im not familiar with chrooted environment?
As to my understanding according to this link 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroot). It actually isolates a certain program 
or service to be restricted in a way that that particular user cannot access or 
view other users' space or programs on the system, only their own.

As to my experience, I have already chrooted DNS (bind) and SSH (openssh)

So in my case, I have successfully chrooted SSH and loaded needed libraries on 
it for certain programs that I allow. 
However, I only got a problem with VI. :(

I hope this clear things up..

what do you mean exactly by "difficulties in running it"? what is does
vi do when you run it? does it crash?
