If you look closely, you'll find scponlyc described in that manpage as
well.

IIRC somebody on this list reported problems with WinSCP and groups
under RedHat. My fuzzy memory tell me the command "groups" is a shell
script, and your chroot environment does not have a shell. I believe
WinSCP (never used that myself) has a switch that lets it skip this
groups command.

Hope this is useful.

Nope. You maybe you should not assume we do telepathy. For instance, you
could divulge your platform. We now know the client is WinSCP, but we
still don't know what that server is running. RedHat is a guess fed by
my faulty memory.
