SSH to a new jail, prompt only $

[petoniano]

Hi, I wanted to try to install packages, for example the unrar pkg to unrar downloaded files. Also I use to SSH to the system to manage my files and so. I´ve read that it´s a bad idea to open the entire system to the world via SSH and it´s a better idea to create a jail, share storage with it and SSH that jail, and also install pkgs there.

So I followed the documentation to create a new Freebsd jail y and to enable SSH via the shell of the Freenas Graphic interface. And created a new user Carlos (me) and a group Family , marked "permit sudo"

I managed to SSH my jail from another computer and outside the network, but when I enter my password it apears a shell prompt that it´s only a $
not Carlos@my_jail:/$ or something like that. It´s difficult for me to go through directories without showing the path where I am. And when y type su and make the su password it appears a normal prompt.

What I´m doing wrong? When I type ls: there is no .cshrc file, it only appears when I am in su mode. It is there because I can read it with less .cshrc but no custom prompt showed.
I cannot ssh with root@my_jail because it says wrong password.

I´ve searched the forums and the User guide and haven´t found an answer. I need a litle help! thank you.

So use pwd.

I know that, but it´s not possible to see the entire path in the prompt?

Of course it is. Figure out which shell your user is using, and edit its rc file (.bashrc, .cshrc, etc.) to set your prompt as desired.

I think the shell is the problem, the user Carlos login tho the jain and uses sh shell, instead of csh (which prompt is set in the .cshrc file), and root user uses csh shell. I've tried to change it in the account>users menu but it already says shell: /bin/csh

Code:

ssh Carlos@192.168.0.3
Password for Carlos@freebsd_pkgs:

Wait, what? If your concern is that you should ssh to the jail for security purposes, why are you doing this? Because none of this is going to have anything to do with the jail. Any of the settings in the web GUI are going to apply to the base FreeNAS system, not to the users in the jail.

That's it!. You are right I mixed the user in the GUI and the user in the Jail.
I played with the commands to modify user accounts pw adduser rmuser... and after all the easiest way was to rmuser Carlos and create it again with adduser
And the problem was that the fist time I created that user I didn't specified csh as the shell (and was using sh instead of csh), now everything goes perfect.
Thank you very much
