[Chrootssh-users] Problem with transferring files + groups/id error

[Niall O'H. <np...@ei...>]

Hi everyone,

I've a strange problem here I had to install groups and id to get rid of =
nag
errors in winSCP but now whenever I connect to the Linux box using =
winSCP I
get the following error

Command "groups"
failed with return code 1 and error message
id: cannot find name for group ID 501.

If I click cancel it logs on ok and connects to the chrooted dir no =
problem
but I cannot upload any files, if I try it just hangs and I have to =
abort.

If I try ssh to the box it closes the shell after I enter a username and
password for a user who is chrooted other users can ssh to it no probs.

Any ideas???

I've done a bit more research and its definitely the unknown user error =
501
from scp that is causing the problem so can anyone help with this?

< WinSCP: this is begin-of-file
! unknown user 501
< inSCP: this is end-of-file:255

501 is the uid of the user that is chrooted
