Hi All

I installed scponly on a Freebsd system for use with sftp-server, and it 
is working fine.

I've read the mailing lists but cannot find a way to hide the chrooted 
subfolders, i.e., bin, etc, lib, libexec and usr folders from the the user?

I've also tried putting the // in the /etc/passwd file, but still cannot 
make the user
go into the incoming folder immediately after he has logged on?  
(
entry in /etc/passwd ==  test6:*:2023:2023:User 
&:/home/test6//home/test6/incoming:/usr/local/sbin/scponlyc
where /home/test6 is the chrooted folder containing bin, etc, lib, 
libexect, etc.
and /home/test6/incoming is the folder user will be directed to after 
login.
)


Is there something like Freebsd's /etc/ftpchroot file for this -
so that after loggin in , the user will not just go to the incoming folder
but he also cannot get out of it?
(there is a Freebsd sftp-server patch to create the sftpchroot feature but
I cannot get it to work).



Thank you very much in anticipation.
