Re: [Chrootssh-users] Cannot find account for uid

[Bob R. <bo...@ro...>]

Well, fortunately for me the etc/passwd file did the trick for the ssh problem.  I was then able to ssh into a chroot'ed shell as expected.  I was really after scp or sftp as well.  I was able to get sftp to work by re-arranging my directory structure somewhat.  I originally had sftp-server in the chroot'ed file-system at /usr/local/libexec/sftp-server.  However, I needed to move it to /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server, then I could use sftp (command line ftp-like interface) which is adequate for my needs.  When I tried scp I got the similar problem with an error no the userid, but I didn't try to track it down very far.

thanks everyone for the help!
