Expand Jailkit applications for jailed users in ISPConfig 3

[dpicella]

I want to expand the applications that my ISPConfig 3 jailed users have access to.

By default, I want to add svn and the expect shell

I put this at the bottom of /etc/jailkit/jk_init.ini

[...]

[svn]
comment = the subversion program
executables = /usr/bin/svn
includesections = netbasics

[dshell]
comment = dpicella shell addons
executables = /bin/expect
includesections = netbasics, uidbasics

Then create a new shell user. Seems like that worked before. Does anyone know if I am doing this right for ISPConfig 3

Thanks!

That could work, but remember that you must add svn and dshell to the Server Config in ISPConfig (it's the field Jailkit chroot app sections on the Jailkit tab).

Thanks!

I think I got it.

It works.

The procedure is:

Modify jk_init.ini
To get the expect shell working ... I needed:

[dshell]
comment = dpicella shell addons
paths = /usr/lib/tcl8.4
libraries = /usr/lib/libexpect5.43.so, /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1
executables = /usr/bin/expect
includesections = netbasics, uidbasics

Then ... add custom or modified sections (in this case "svn" and "dshell") to your list of chroot app sections in ispconfig 3 at: system -> server config -> jailkit

It only seems to work when installing a new website. I don't seem to get all the updates to my chrooted jail applications when changing or modifying users.

Both SVN and the expect shell seem to be working ... However, if I log in as a jailed user and try to spawn an sftp session using the expect shell, I get this error:

The system has no more ptys. Ask your system administrator to create more.
