centos 5.6 feedback

[Charles G. <cg...@lh...>]

Hi there and thanks for a tremendous tool.

I thought I'd share a few problems I ran into while setting up rssh 2.3.3 on centos 5.6 (64 bit) for sftp and rsync with a chrooted env in case it helps someone else (as your prvious posts helped me). They really all have to do with using a jailed/chrooted env.

1. mkchroot.sh didn't come bundled with the rpm. It would be nice if it did.

1. The mkchroot.sh does not setup rsync. Since everything else seems to cater to rsync this looks like a bit of an ommission, but it's easy to add to the script if needed by just looking what is done for $sftp_server_path and adding the same for $rsync_path

2. The mkchroot.sh doesn't appear to be 64 bit aware. This mainly got me on the name service resolution libraries so I added the following to the script

cp /lib64/libnss_{files,ldap}* "$jail_dir/lib64"

The main reason this was a hassle was that I got no indication of these libraries were missing in the logs and sftp just failed silently. At least with rsync I could see libs were missing.

Anyway, I hope this helps someone with similar issues, and thanks again for rssh.
