Well, I have a suspicion of the problem. 1) schroot setup scripts are run without a PATH being set. This has not been an issue to date for some reason; either this works on Linux and not BSD, or we were hitherto only using shell builtins or commands which didn't rely on PATH. This fix is fairly simple: we need to explicity set PATH in the environment before execing the setup scripts. 2) BSD mount is not using a sensible PATH to search for its helpers. If it's using the user PATH to search for its helpers, there might be security implication here, especially if it's SUID like on Linux. We can fix (1) in schroot fairly simply. (2) might need some investigation by the BSD porters. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
