Nope.

Dot does refer to teh current dir.  This notation allows access locally as
well (although that wouldn't be chrooted).  If needed you can edit teh
passwd file manually to add the .

Basically /./ acts as a silent flag.

Subject: [Chrootssh-users] chrootssh under FreeBSD 4.8


I'm trying to setup chrootssh on a FreeBSD 4.8 box. I've been following
the chrooted sftp howto
(http://chrootssh.sourceforge.net/docs/chrootedsftp.html), and everything
went smoothly until I got to the point where the instructions said to
create a new user account with a home directory of
"/path/to/chroot/./home/username". AFAIK, under FreeBSD (and I'm pretty
sure under Linux too), you can't create a "." directory since "." refers
to the present working directory. Am I misunderstanding the directions?

Matt
