stat() failed, /usr/sbin/chroot /home/usr00020:

[Joaquim L. <lau...@lu...>]

Hi,

I have installed rssh, and am being unable to make the "chroot" process
work.  As far as I can see, I follow the config file instructions, but 
it fails to work.  I am using RedHat 9.0 and "chroot" is located in 
"/usr/sbin".  I even copied "chroot" to "/usr/local", but it still fails 
to work.  "chroot" works if I use it in a command line as root.  And I
can sftp to the account if I remove the "chroot" step from the user 
configuration line.  I will appreciate your help.  Below I provide the 
log and config data.
