Hi All,
I am trying to use rssh to restrict a single user to their home directory,
and sftp.

I don't quite understand, does rssh have to be used in conjunction with
chroot for the restriction to work?

I just get a connection closed now when I use rssh with the following
settings:

# This is the default rssh config file

# set the log facility.  "LOG_USER" and "user" are equivalent.
logfacility = LOG_USER

# Leave these all commented out to make the default action for rssh to lock
# users out completely...

allowscp
allowsftp
allowcvs
allowrdist
allowrsync

# set the default umask
umask = 022

# If you want to chroot users, use this to set the directory where the root
of
# the chroot jail will be located.
#
# if you DO NOT want to chroot users, LEAVE THIS COMMENTED OUT.
# chrootpath = /usr/local/chroot

# You can quote anywhere, but quotes not required unless the path contains a
# space... as in this example.
#chrootpath = "/usr/local/my chroot"

# EXAMPLES of configuring per-user options

#user=rudy:077:00010:  # the path can simply be left out to not chroot
#user=rudy:077:00010   # the ending colon is optional

#user=rudy:011:00100:  # cvs, with no chroot
#user=rudy:011:01000:  # rdist, with no chroot
#user=rudy:011:10000:  # rsync, with no chroot
#user="rudy:011:00001:/usr/local/chroot"  # whole user string can be quoted
#user=rudy:01"1:00001:/usr/local/chroot"  # or somewhere in the middle,
freak!
user=doofus:'011:00010:/home/doofus'  # single quotes too
user=doofus:011:00010: # single quotes too

# if your chroot_path contains spaces, it must be quoted...
# In the following examples, the chroot_path is "/usr/local/my chroot"
#user=rudy:011:00001:"/usr/local/my chroot"  # scp with chroot
#user=rudy:011:00010:"/usr/local/my chroot"  # sftp with chroot
#user=rudy:011:00011:"/usr/local/my chroot"  # both with chroot

# Spaces before or after the '=' are fine, but spaces in chrootpath need
# quotes.
#user = "rudy:011:00001:/usr/local/my chroot"
#user = "rudy:011:00001:/usr/local/my chroot"  # neither do comments at
line end
