SuSE

The FTP server isn't going to do real user logins. If you want a chroot for an FTP user it's the FTP server's job.

For the third time:

A lot depends on your FTP server. What is your FTP server?

I dont think i quite understood what you meant by ftp server.

But i use sftp /sshd

sftp is not ftp; a one-letter difference changes the problem significantly. A chroot may still be possible but I'll need to research how.

Here are several solutions for chrooting sftp users.

thanks..at least some light at the end of the tunnel.

Well as i said earlier

I have already set up a chroot jail

But im not adding a user to the jail properly cause he can still view other folders

May be im not not able to create a shell for him

You might want to start over and follow their instructions. Setting up a chroot can be tricky.

I have setup a jail following a tutorial i found on the net
int main ( void ) » chroot shell tutorial

It looks good..

But when i execute
sudo /usr/bin/chroot /home/luser /bin/su - luser (which is part of the steps)

i get

/bin/su: incorrect password



Any idea

It probably means what it says: incorrect password. On the other hand, this dangerous (imho) tutorial has you editing /etc/passwd by hand so it's also possible you made a mistake in editing it, or their hand-done changes are incorrect or incompatible with your login system. It's better to use usermod to change a users' setup...

One thing I don't see it doing is adding the login wrapper to /etc/shells, if /etc/shells exists on your system it's probably necessary to add it.

Be sure to complete all steps of the tutorial, including the changes to sudoers.
