[Chrootssh-users] dropped connection after logging in

[lee f. <lfe...@4l...>]

Hi,

  Using openssh-3.8p1-chroot on a SuSE 9.0 i386 machine.  Attempting to
use the chroot functionality with new accounts having their homedirs
created on the fly, if they do not previously exist.  This was built on
the machine and installed in /usr/local.  We are using pam to
authenticate against a ldap server.  The server is authenticating the
user OK, but drops the connection when it attempts to chroot to the 
jailed root.  I did not have a problem with openssh-3.7p1-chroot in the
same environment, with the exception that it would not create new users
home dirs on login.

  Using ldd to try and identify missing libraries has been unsuccessful.

  Setting LogLevel to DEBUG3 has only resulted in a report that the
server could not change root to the jailed directory, but no reason is 
given.  The server then terminates the connection with the client, but 
the log says that the client terminated the connection.

  Ideas?  Do you need more info?

  Thank you.
