Hi all,

I have a problem, how to jail a user to his home dir e.g. /home/testuser that he cant leave that directory ?

In real is that i using rssh for scp and sftp with chroot enviroment and no shell ( i did it like it says here http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_SFTP_Server_(chrooted,_without_shell) ) its forking fine... but i need that user cant see behind their own directories so they dont see how many users are there or names of users... and i dont wanna make chroot env for each one cause there is logging problem than...\

Anybody had similar problems ?

Hi, same problem here. I have followed the instructions but coudn't achieve to jail the user inhis /home, because every time I set the CHROOT option in rssh, it blocks all connections attempts. And if I don't set it, then the user can browse all directories... I guess there's a bug in rssh, or the directions are not correct...
