The recipe: # mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev fails to make subdirectories of /dev available in the chrooted environment. In particular, it fails to make /dev/pts available. When I set up sshd in the chrooted environment, I was unable to ssh into it because of the lack of /dev/pts. I think this part of the recipe should be modified to read: mount --rbind /dev/ /mnt/gentoo/dev . At least, it worked for me in the sense I was able to ssh into it. Please consider amending this manual. Thanks! -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Read the fine manual 2. Do what it says. 3. Actual Results: See description Expected Results: sshd should work.
I can't reproduce your error, as it works for me as written. You are supposed to setup sshd *before* you enter a chrooted environment, otherwise yeah, you might be missing some things later on.
