Yes, it is possible to chroot with stock openssh in recent CentOS ! 1. Unfortunately the Match directive is not backported, so the only possibility is to chroot all users including root. 2. The chroot is not restricted to sftp. ssh is chrooted also. 3. All users are chrooted including root I am aware of 2 possible methods to workaround this limitations: Configure 2 ssh daemons, one chrooted for sftp and one default. The chrooted sshd has to listen on another ip or port. Or, alternatively (only one sshd needed) ChrootDirectory %h and change home for root to / (sounds nasty and it is ;-) However you do it, the directory given to ChrootDirectory has to be read-only for normal users. If it were writable the user could manipulate the content of the chroot. Write access has to be restricted to a subdirectory of ChrootDirectory. -- Kind Regards, Markus Falb
