I was trying to take out of the equation user access issues. |

No, it's when it asks/expects a user passwd which I wasn't sure that you set |
| 33 |
up beforehand. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Typically, one would create a user and set up passwd both for user and root |
| 36 |
locally, then start screen as the user and detach it, login remotely with ssh |
| 37 |
and chroot from that point on. If as you said in previous message you are |
| 38 |
trying to do this from within the chrooted environment then things may be more |
| 39 |
complicated. I can't recall ever trying that to know how or why it fails. |
