Description Martin Kropfinger 2014-10-06 19:59:08 UTC 
I have a spectrwm running with XTerm open. Inside the xterm I use su(1) to switch to uid 0. If I try to enter a running jail using jexec I ran into an error:

# jexec 1 /bin/csh
Cannot open "/usr/local/lib/libswmhack.so"


An other problem, with probably the same reason, is that you can not install a jail inside spectrwm using "bsdinstall jail /any/path". Also having switched to uid 0 using su(1). bsdinstall throws a error when it should ask for the root password.


Am running spectrwm V2.6.0 installed from official repo using pkg on a amd64 FreeBSD 10.1RC1

Thanks

Hi!
I just updated the x11-wm/spectrwm port to the latest version.  Can you please verify if this is still an issue.
Thanks!
