Hi all, I am using Match directive and internal-sftp to chroot sftp users into their directory. Connection and login works. I can change directories and put/get files. Also logging of the internal sftp-process works (created a /dev/log socket inside the chroot). As soon as I use the 'ls' command, nothing happens and the the process gets stuck. Listing files does work as soon as I remove the chrootdirectory directive. Configuration details: >From the end of the /etc/ssh/sshd_config: Subsystem sftp internal-sftp Match User p16012 ChrootDirectory /srv/www/xxxxx.de ForceCommand internal-sftp -l VERBOSE -f LOCAL6 I have created an additional socket for the rsyslog deamon inside the chroot directory and logging works fine: Mar 17 16:42:24 nina internal-sftp[6749]: session opened for local user p16012 from [84.xx.xxx.66] Mar 17 16:42:24 nina internal-sftp[6749]: received client version 3 Mar 17 16:42:24 nina internal-sftp[6749]: realpath "."

I can see from the trace that the process tries to access /etc/localtime, passwd and group. Of course those files are not present in my chroot environment and my understanding is, that using internal-sftp does not require those. I have found http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/32882/sftp-server-on-rhel6-disconnec ts-on-ls, which is slightly comparable. I do not get disconnected and I am on Debian, but symptoms are the same. I am using PAM with libnss-mysql. Any help is welcome.
