Thanks for the help! Ok, I'm getting closer (no more errors in sshd.log),
however it still does not work. After doing the above, and trying to connect,
I get the following:
$ sftp [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Connecting to 10.1.0.135...
Request for subsystem 'sftp' failed on channel 0
Couldn't read packet: Connection reset by peer
It hangs here for a minute or 2, then returns me back to my client prompt.
I tried removing the "ForceCommand internal-sftp", to see if I could get a
simple chrooted shell, but then when I attempt to connect I get:
$ ssh -l jsmith 10.1.0.135
Last login: Fri Jul 11 14:22:07 2008 from 10.1.0.33
Could not chdir to home directory /space/storage/jsmith: No such file or
directory
/bin/sh: No such file or directory
Connection to 10.1.0.135 closed.
I suspect the /bin/sh error is due to the fact that the /bin/sh doesn't exist
in the chrooted directory. SO, in order for a normal shell to work I'd need to
make a 'bin' directory of some sort and copy whatever binaries I want to permit
the user to run into the new directory.
But should I need any other binaries for sftp to work?
