problem with setting up ssh chroot account

[Garey Mills]

To keep the conversation going, here are listings of my chroot directory's
dev and dev/pts directories and the listing of the OS's /dev/pts directory

[root at dlab-gis dev]# ls -l
total 0
crw-rw-rw-. 1 root root 1, 3 Mar 19 14:28 null
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root    0 Aug 17  2011 pts
crw-rw-rw-. 1 root root 5, 0 Mar 19 14:29 tty
crw-r--r--. 1 root root 1, 9 Mar 19 14:28 urandom
crw-rw-rw-. 1 root root 1, 5 Mar 19 14:29 zero
[root at dlab-gis dev]# cd pts
[root at dlab-gis pts]# ls -l
total 0
crw--w----. 1 gmills tty  136, 0 Mar 27 16:44 0
c---------. 1 root   root   5, 2 Aug 17  2011 ptmx
[root at dlab-gis pts]# ls /dev/pts
0  ptmx
[root at dlab-gis pts]# ls -l /dev/pts
total 0
crw--w----. 1 gmills tty  136, 0 Mar 27 16:45 0
c---------. 1 root   root   5, 2 Aug 17  2011 ptmx

The devpts partition is mounted at /dev/pts and /home/jail/dev/pts. Perhaps
this is the problem?
