Greetings, I've completed my installation of the Chroot setup but when I try to connect from my remote client. I can get a login, I put in my password and hit enter, then it suddenly closes my connection. Can someone please help? -city-
Hi, have you copied the line for your username from /etc/passwd to /home/chroot/etc/passwd ? E.g.: grep /etc/passwd -e "^testuser" >> /home/chroot/etc/passwd Olli
hi o.meyer, Yes, I've tried using that - even creating the testuser account verbatim like the example. I've tried going back and recompile the openssh-4.5p1-chroot and I noticed that after the make or was it the configure command that it complained about the ssh may not work if there is no PAM config file for. I'll try to get the exact error and post it here again. -city-
I got this message during the compile of openssh chroot. Could this be the issue, the last few lines of the message? Here is the output after I ran the following command from the How-To: ./configure --exec-prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc/ssh --with-pam output: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OpenSSH has been configured with the following options: User binaries: /usr/bin System binaries: /usr/sbin Configuration files: /etc/ssh Askpass program: /usr/libexec/ssh-askpass Manual pages: /usr/local/share/man/manX PID file: /var/run Privilege separation chroot path: /var/empty sshd default user PATH: /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin Manpage format: doc PAM support: yes OSF SIA support: no KerberosV support: no SELinux support: no Smartcard support: no S/KEY support: no TCP Wrappers support: no MD5 password support: no libedit support: no Solaris process contract support: no IP address in $DISPLAY hack: no Translate v4 in v6 hack: yes BSD Auth support: no Random number source: OpenSSL internal ONLY Host: i686-pc-linux-gnu Compiler: gcc Compiler flags: -g -O2 -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wuninitialized -Wsign-compare -Wno-pointer-sign -std=gnu99 Preprocessor flags: Linker flags: Libraries: -lpam -ldl -lresolv -lcrypto -lutil -lz -lnsl -lcrypt PAM is enabled.
