Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS I'm trying to chroot the user 'sam'. According to all the tutorials out there this should work, but apparently I'm still doing something wrong. The user: sam:x:1005:1006::/home/sam:/bin/false I changed /etc/ssh/sshd_config like this (at the bottom of the file): #Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server # CHROOT JAIL Subsystem sftp internal-sftp Match group users ChrootDirectory %h ForceCommand internal-sftp AllowTcpForwarding no I added sam to the users group: $groups sam sam : sam users I changed the permissions for sam's home folder: $ ls -la /home/sam drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 4096 Sep 23 16:12 . drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Sep 22 16:29 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 sam users 4096 Sep 23 16:10 awstats drwxr-xr-x 3 sam users 4096 Sep 23 16:10 etc ... drwxr-xr-x 2 sam users 4096 Sep 23 16:10 homes drwxr-x--- 3 sam users 4096 Sep 23 16:10 public_html I restarted ssh and now sam can't log in with SFTP. The session is created, but also closed immediately: Sep 24 12:55:15 ... sshd[9917]: Accepted password for sam from ... Sep 24 12:55:15 ... sshd[9917]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user sam by (uid=0) Sep 24 12:55:16 ... sshd[9928]: subsystem request for sftp Sep 24 12:55:17 ... sshd[9917]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session closed for user sam Cyberduck says Unexpected end of sftp stream. and other clients give similar errors. What did I forget / what is going wrong? Thanks!
