sftp chroot help...

I have sftponly setup on a server and not having any issue with it, as the id being used can only use sftp...

I do need to lock the id into there home directory, right now they can move around where ever they want to..

Can you assist with this setup...

user id for sftp only account:
mpxsftp:x:113:116:chrooted user:/home/centftp/prod/00036_mpx/incoming:/bin/sftponly

I am running HP-UX 11.11 and following Secure Shell Version:
T1471AA A.05.10.006 HP-UX Secure Shell

Thanks

It briefly mentions the ssh and chroot environments and prompts you to read the README.hp file under /opt/ssh. There is also a script to make the conversion of a regular account to a chrooted account, /opt/ssh/utils/ssh_chroot_setup.sh

Have you looked at these?

I tried the script, and it made no difference...

Only thing I can see that it did was take away the sftponly and changed it to /bin/sh

I could still move around to other file systems.

Followed instruction as indicated, and it all works fine, except that I can still do a cd /, and when I do I am in / and not this users home directory....

mpxsftp:x:113:116:chrooted user:/home/centftp/prod/00036_mpx/incoming/./home/mpxsftp:/bin/sftponly
