SSH chroot jail problems
Firstly Hi everyone
I setup SFTP and SSH jail using this tutorial:
http://www.howtoforge.com/chrooted-ssh-sftp-tutorial-debian-lenny
SFTP jail works however now when I try to SSH it accepts my password and then just goes to a blank screen. Type any command and the shell session is closed (and putty closes) without error.
I've restarted openssh many times and also the server, just cant get this working!
I can provide the debug for the failed and also a working SSH into the box if you need, just ask.
Server: Debian 5.0.4
OpenSSH_5.1p1
sshd_config:
Subsystem sftp internal-sftp
UseLogin yes
Match user tom
ChrootDirectory /home/%u
ForceCommand internal-sftp
AllowTcpForwarding no
Also tried:
ChrootDirectory /home/tom
Tried with and without:
X11Forwarding no
Tried:
Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server
ForceCommand /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server
Permissions:
/home/tom has owner root chmod 755
All files and folders below this are chmod 755 and owner tom
Passwd file:
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
tom:x:1003:1004:Tom,,,:/home/tom:/bin/bash
Any ideas anyone?

Hi all,
I have a Solaris 10 server with SUN_SSH_1.1 installed.
I want to restrict a user via SFTP to only be able to access one directory. I've written a little script in .profile which works perfectly for an ssh login but it appears sftp doesn't read the .profile file so it doesn't work.
