Backspace key does not work in a ssh chroot jail

[John]

I setup a ssh chroot jail following this[1] guide.  It works for my user to login, use ls and use scp which is all I really want.  I do have a problem I cannot solve: when connected and navigating the filesystem, the backspace key actually moves the cursor forward and does not delete what I type.

I may have found a hint from some googling that readline will read in /etc/inputrc on login but if this is true, I am unsure what component of readline might I require to copy over from the live system into the chroot jail.

For reference, I include the tree view of the chroot jail I created below.  Thank you kindly for any suggestions.
