[Chrootssh-users] chroot jail problem

[myogendra <yog...@gm...>]

 Hi everybody,


I found ur email-id in google.

I am trying for setting the chroot for ssh.

I entered the following entry in the /etc/pam.d/sshd file
session required pam_chroot.so onerr=3Dfail

and I entered the entry for user1 in /etc/security/chroot.conf file
user1 /home/user1

And I did the modifications to /etc/ssh/ssd_config file=20

UsePrivilegeSeparation no


after that, while logging to the ssh server with the user1 account, I am =
getting the following errors.

#ssh localhost -l user1

Connection to 192.168.30.10 closed by remote host.
Connection to 192.168.30.10 closed.


My /var/log/secure entries for this event are :

Jan 19 16:14:14 ndserver sshd[15669]: Accepted password for user1 from =
192.168.30.10 port 1195 ssh2

non-root
Jan 19 16:14:14 ndserver sshd[15669]: fatal: PAM session setup =
failed[14]: Cannot make/remove an entry for the specified session


and Also I followed the instructions chrootsh.sourceforge.net. It is =
also not working.



Please help me.
