I guess you don't want jk_lsh then. With jk_lsh one cannot "get inside
the jail". Use a regular shell inside the jail.

I think you need a regular shell inside that jail, but for the record:

ssh into an account that is jailed with jk_chrootsh as shell and has
jk_lsh as shell inside the jail with a remote command that is allowed in
your jk_lsh. 'ssh address@hidden command'
