[Chrootssh-users] SFTP/SCP and chroot (fwd)

[Aaron L. <al...@na...>]

Greets everyone-

I have a redhat 9 chroot'ed box all set up and running with one issue.
SFTP and SCP both hang at the password prompt.  SSH runs perfectly, and
with a hosts file in the chroot, I can ssh/scp/sftp anywhere.  However
when I SFTP or SCP to the box, I get prompted for my password, it appears
to accept it, and then hangs.  I have checked the ssh and sftp-server
binary against ldd to be sure I have all the libraries I need, and I can't
figure out what I'm missing.  I've also run strace on the server, as well
as run sshd with -d -d -d and everything looks as can be expected.  This
is the output from sftp -v -v -v (starting at the password prompt, until
the point it hangs):

user@host's password:
debug3: packet_send2: adding 48 (len 61 padlen 19 extra_pad 64)
debug2: we sent a password packet, wait for reply
debug1: ssh-userauth2 successful: method password
debug1: fd 4 setting O_NONBLOCK
debug2: fd 5 is O_NONBLOCK
debug1: channel 0: new [client-session]
debug3: ssh_session2_open: channel_new: 0
debug1: send channel open 0
debug1: Entering interactive session.
debug2: callback start
debug1: ssh_session2_setup: id 0
debug1: Sending subsystem: sftp
debug1: channel request 0: subsystem
debug2: callback done
debug1: channel 0: open confirm rwindow 0 rmax 32768
debug2: channel 0: rcvd adjust 131072

# It hangs at that point.
# When I sftp as root, which is not chrooted, it gets the next 3 lines
# and then the sftp prompt

debug2: Remote version: 3
debug3: Sent message fd 3 T:16 I:1
debug3: SSH_FXP_REALPATH . -> /root
sftp>

I can send more debugging output from the server side, although it doesn't
appear to be all that useful.  It looks exactly the same as a
non-chroot'ed user, except the chroot'ed users connection hangs at the
passwd prompt. /var/log/messages say the user has logged in successfully
and ps shows that the sftp process is running.  I'm totally stuck.

Any suggestions or information would be *greatly* appreciated.
