[CHROOT] Backspace issue (solved)

Hello everyone,

I have been trying for several days to set up a CHROOT for certain users in connection SSH by strictly following the indications of the link: https://wiki.archlinux.fr/Environnement_chroot. (french sorry)

However, the backspace key moves the cursor forward instead of moving it backward. I tried to add the stty program to /usr/bin/ of the chrooted directory, do a stty erase ^H or ^?, nothing is done, the problem and the same either from a Mac or Linux terminal .

And yet ... something that surpasses me ... the backspace key works correctly with a non-chrooted SSH connection. And if I chroot the user directory directly from the server with root session for which the backspace works, same problem once chrooted the backspace becomes faulty.

Although I tried to find solutions on Google, they all proved unsuccessful.

Thank you for your answers.

Re: [CHROOT] Backspace issue (solved)

The behavior is determined by the shell, not chroot or ssh.
=> Which one? bash, zsh, ...?

What happens if, in the ssh session, you run the command export TERM=linux
?

I apologize for the response time. I have found the solution. It was enough to copy the directory /usr/share/terminfo/ to /usr/share/terminfo of chroot directory.

Best regards.
