Ftp'ing out of a chroot()ed environment

Does anybody understand chroot and ftp/telnet enough to tell me why
I can't get ftp nor telnet to run in my chrooted account??  I'd like
to set up a user zone to allow simple ftp/telnet through without opening
my whole system.

I did a dump -n on the binaries and ensured the requested libraries are
available in the chrooted environment.  Do I need anything special in
/etc (I have resolv.conf) or /dev???

Help.

Without you saying what kind of system you have this is pretty hard, but
Try this:
         strings `which telnet` | grep '/[a-z]'

This may require /etc/services unless there is a services NIS map.  I'm
not sure about /etc/protocols.

I recommend doing a 'trace' on telnet in the normal environment, and
massaging the output of that to get a list of the directories and files you
need to migrate.  Here's a new-awk script that converts the trace output
file into the appropriate commands:
=========================fix.awk=============================================
$1 ~ /^(open|stat|creat|unlink)$/ {
sub("^[^\"]*\"","");
sub("\".*$","");
for (x=2;x<=length($0);x++)
  if (substr($0,x,1)=="/") print "mkdir ~ftp"substr($0,1,x)
if ($0 ~ /\/./) print "cp "$0" ~ftp"$0
}
=============================================================================
So type:
  trace -o output /usr/ucb/ftp somehost.edu
  nawk -f fix.awk output > file1
  sort -u < file1 > result
  vi result
  source result
