this code gives me alot of errors:

cp: cannot stat «(0xffffe000)»: Ingen slik fil eller filkatalog
cp: cannot stat «(0xffffe000)»: Ingen slik fil eller filkatalog
cp: cannot stat «(0xffffe000)»: Ingen slik fil eller filkatalog

cp: cannot stat «(0xffffe000)»: Ingen slik fil eller filkatalog

PS: I run a Norwegian locale and "Ingen slik fil eller filkatalog" translates to "no such file or folder".

If i run "ldd /bin/bash" I get:

ldd /bin/bash
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
libncurses.so.5 => /lib/libncurses.so.5 (0xb7f07000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/tls/libdl.so.2 (0xb7f03000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0xb7dcc000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7f55000)

When I tried to log on with the new user ,after following your guide, the console just hangs right after typing the password, but "who" and "ps aux | grep testuser" tells me that the user is logged on.

"chroot /home/chroot /bin/bash" dies with the message:

chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory

i run a Debian Sarge with kernel 2.6.12
