The chroot environment should never be aware that it is chroot'ed. So, in the chroot'ed /etc/passwd you put a normal entry, no /./ tricks. Then, in the "host" /etc/passwd you put the /./ trick to the chroot environment. Make sure the uid's match though. I use this successfully to "host" a RH7.3 installation inside a Debian Sarge installation. We have a commercial app that requires RH7.3 for support to be happy. -- Danie Roux *shuffle* Adore Unix -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
