Hi. pdksh and derivatives (openbsd ksh, mirbsd mksh etc) all have the same "bug" with regards to jails. On all of my systems, trying to start *ksh in a jail results in a message that /dev/tty could not be opened (device busy) and that the shell will not have job control. For some reason, this makes pretty much any curses or screen editor fail to run. Note that also, this problem does NOT occur if you use ssh to enter the jail as I believe ssh handles tty allocation in advance. I wondered if anybody had patched their *ksh to workaround this problem? I've had a look at the sources myself and... ugh. The insides of a unix shell are not something I particularly want to spend much time examining...
