[Chrootssh-users] Issue with chroot on AIX

[Suzana Z. <suz...@ya...>]

Hello all,
Recently I compiled an openssh with the chroot patch :

OpenSSH_3.8.1p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8d 28 Sep 2006

Got it installed and working. I followed instructions on how to make the chrooted home (I called it /home/jail), when I tested  chroot by using 'chroot /home/jail /usr/bin/ls' , it works..but when I tried sftp chroot_user@chroot_host, it failed with this command :

fatal: Couldn't chroot to user directory /home/jail

I'm using AIX 5.3.

This entry I have in /etc/passwd for the chroot user :

chroot_user:!:264:1:FTP User - chroot:/home/jail/./home/chroot_user:/usr/bin/sh


Any idea why its failing? Thanks...at my wits end here.

Suzana
