i am working on setting up a chroot with ssh from (chrootssh.sourceforge.net) the instructions say this: the chrootssh patch looks for a '.' in the users home directory, then calls chroot(2) to whatever directory was before the . and continues with the normal ssh functionality. E.G. If your home directory was /chroot/./home/bob, you'd be chrooted to /chroot and /chroot/home/bob would actually appear as /home/bob to you. but I am very confused by this idea of a '.' as a directory name, especially since '.' and '..' already exists in every directory and also because of these errors: [root@devel2 testssh]# mkdir /home/testchroot/. mkdir: cannot create directory `/home/testchroot/. ': File exists [root@devel2 testssh]# mkdir /home/testchroot/./userx [root@devel2 testssh]# cd /home/testchroot/./userx [root@devel2 userx]# pwd /home/testchroot/userx Can someone help me understand this situation a little better? -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
