You want to use schroot -c lenny-amd64 -- uname -a This is a standard conventions when parsing command-line options. The "--" option marks the end of the program options and the start of non-option arguments (i.e. the command you want to run). This means that "uname" and "-a" are passed verbatim and not treated as options at all. This is mentioned in the Examples section of the schroot(1) manual page. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
