Description Mauro Santos 2013-04-15 15:09:25 UTC 
I'm using Arch Linux as a host with systemd 201 and I'm trying to use a directory with a CentOS 5 install with 'systemd-nspawn -D <centos_dir>'.

Initially I get a root shell and everything works as expected, however when I try to change user with 'su - <username>' I get a warning that there is no job control for the current shell.

If <username> uses bash then the warning is:
"-bash: no job control in this shell"

If <username> uses tcsh (which I intend to use) the warning is:
"Warning: no access to tty (Inappropriate ioctl for device).
Thus no job control in this shell."

When using tcsh this also breaks shell completion.

THis should work correctly on nspawn from 209.
