Hi Luke,

I've been attempting to set up a chroot jail for a group of sftp users on
a Mac OS X 10.4.11 server.

First of all, how did you get OS X' ssh to chroot? Did you apply the chroot patch to the darwin source OpenSSH?

I failed to mention that I compiled openssh v5.0p1 (which I understand to have native chroot support) in /opt/openssh. It's running in daemon mode at the moment as I have not integrated it with launchd yet. (/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ssh.plist has been unloaded with launchctl)


Unfortunately when any of the users login,
they get kicked out with the following error in my /var/log/ secure.log:

"fatal: bad ownership or modes for chroot directory component "/""

Here are my configuration settings:

/etc/sshd_config
# override default of no subsystems
Subsystem       sftp    internal-sftp

Match Group webgroup
        ChrootDirectory %h
        ForceCommand internal-sftp
        AllowTcpForwarding no

(note: I've also tried: ChrootDirectory /webhome/web)

Users are from an OpenDirectory Master.  Shells are currently set to
/bin/bash (no /bin/false as some write-ups suggest to use) and their home
directories are set to /webhome/web.

Permissions and ownership on the chroot home (/webhome/web/) are:

$ ls -alG /webhome/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x +  3 root  wheel   102 Jul 10 11:10 .
drwxrwxr-t + 33 root  admin  1224 Jul 10 11:10 ..
drwxr-xr-x    6 root  wheel   204 Jul  7 11:32 web

Within web, users have access to write to different directories:

$ ls -alG /webhome/web/
total 8
drwxr-xr-x + 6 root      wheel     204 Jul  7 11:32 .
drwxr-xr-x + 3 root      wheel     102 Jul 10 11:10 ..
-rw-r--r--   1 root      admin       7 Jul  2 15:48 index.html
drwxrwxr-x   3 user1  web1grp  102 Jul  7 12:07 site1
drwxrwxr-x   3 user2  web2grp  102 Jul  7 12:18 site2
drwxrwxr-x   2 user3  web3grp   68 Jul  7 11:32 site3

(note: web1grp, web2grp, web3grp are nested into webgroup)
(note: acls are used on the site directories to deny read access to
specific groups)

Users not in the webgroup are able to login to the server with no
problems.

Are those users chrooted as well?

No.

I do not see any binaries in your chroot environment. Do you supply any?

No. Ultimately users will have only sftp access. I was under the impression I'd only need to include binaries if shell access was granted. The error message is generated when I attempt either ssh or sftp logins.
