I've configured sftp to run in a chroot env which seems to work however I am unable to get syslog to log the sftp activities within the chroot. If I connect via sftp to a non-chroot env the daemon will log the transactions as expected: i.e. Feb 11 10:35:20 XXXXXXXXXX sftp-server[11797]: [ID 800047 auth.info] open "/home/someguy/test/file" flags READ mode 0666 I also need the activities to be logged from within the chroot - can someone please give me some pointers? Here is my config running under Solaris 10: syslog.conf: auth.debug /var/adm/openssh.log sshd_config: SyslogFacility AUTH LogLevel DEBUG Subsystem sftp /opt/openssh/libexec/sftp-server -l DEBUG Match User sample ChrootDirectory /home/chroot chroot env: /home/chroot: ./usr ./usr/sfw ./usr/sfw/lib ./usr/sfw/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7 ./usr/sfw/lib/libcrypto_extra.so.0.9.7 ./usr/bin ./usr/bin/ls ./usr/lib ./usr/lib/nss_files.so.1 ./usr/lib/libz.so.1 ./usr/lib/ld.so.1 ./bin ./bin/bash ./etc ./etc/group ./etc/passwd ./lib ./lib/libsec.so.1 ./lib/libc.so.1 ./lib/libresolv.so.2 ./lib/libmd.so.1 ./lib/libmp.so.2 ./lib/libdoor.so.1 ./lib/libcurses.so.1 ./lib/libnsl.so.1 ./lib/librt.so.1 ./lib/libdl.so.1 ./lib/libm.so.2 ./lib/libaio.so.1 ./lib/libscf.so.1 ./lib/libgen.so.1 ./lib/libuutil.so.1 ./lib/libavl.so.1 ./lib/libsocket.so.1 ./opt ./opt/openssh ./opt/openssh/libexec ./opt/openssh/libexec/sftp-server ./opt/openssh/bin ./opt/openssh/bin/scp ./home ./home/sample ./dev ./dev/null ./dev/log ./var ./var/adm ./var/adm/openssh.log -- “it is better to solve the right problem the wrong way than the wrong problem the right way” -- Doug McIlroy
