Kaleb,

The scponly install I'm using is the default debian package 4.6-1.3.
If I sftp to the server with an account without chroot, it connects
just fine and works correctly.  The logs I included in the previous
email were from my trying to connect from one linux box (client) using
sftp to the server linux box which is setup scponlyc (chroot).  In
other words, they weren't the logs of my putty test.

I can't quite make heads or tails of the log files.  Any other ideas I
could test?
