Details:

I'm using a fresh jailkit-2.15 installation on Debian squeeze ("Linux version
2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 (Debian 2.6.32-45) (address@hidden) (gcc version 4.3.5
(Debian 4.3.5-4) ) #1 SMP Sun May 6 08:57:29 UTC 2012").

When starting nano or lynx in a jailed shell I got errors like "Error opening
terminal: unknown.". Using "export TERM=xterm" led to "Error opening terminal:
xterm.". After some research I found out that xterm is optional and must be
enabled with jk_init. The [xterm] lines were commented out in
/etc/jailkit/jk_init.ini, so I uncommented them. 

address@hidden:/home/xxx# jk_init -v /home/jail xterm
/home/jail/usr/bin/xterm already exists, will not touch it
/home/jail/etc/terminfo/README already exists, will not touch it
Device /home/jail/dev/pts/0 does exist already
Device /home/jail/dev/pts/1 does exist already
Device /home/jail/dev/pts/2 does exist already
Device /home/jail/dev/pts/3 does exist already
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/jk_init", line 240, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/sbin/jk_init", line 237, in main
    activateConfig(config, jail, args)
  File "/usr/sbin/jk_init", line 157, in activateConfig
    ji.handle_cfg_section(config,jail,cfg,section)
  File "/usr/sbin/jk_init", line 142, in handle_cfg_section
    jk_lib.copy_device(chroot,tmp,config['verbose'])
  File "/usr/share/jailkit/jk_lib.py", line 550, in copy_device
    sb = os.stat(path)
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/dev/ptyb4'


I stripped the devices that don't exist in Squeeze until there were no errors
(devices = /dev/pts/0, /dev/pts/1, /dev/pts/2, /dev/pts/3, /dev/tty,
/dev/tty0, /dev/tty4).

The output of the last run of jk_init -v /home/jail xterm is:

/home/jail/usr/bin/xterm already exists, will not touch it
/home/jail/etc/terminfo/README already exists, will not touch it
Device /home/jail/dev/pts/0 does exist already
Device /home/jail/dev/pts/1 does exist already
Device /home/jail/dev/pts/2 does exist already
Device /home/jail/dev/pts/3 does exist already
Device /home/jail/dev/tty does exist already
Creating device /home/jail/dev/tty0
Creating device /home/jail/dev/tty4

But unfortunately nano won't work (Error opening terminal: xterm).

Thanks for your help/Bij voorbaat dank!
