[scponly] can't sftp with scponlyc

[Paul Hyder]

There is some documentation on building jail configurations in
the build_extras directory, as noted it is not trivial.

Anyway, the error messages are path differences in Solaris for
specific versions of (at least) id and grep.

Email archives have a similar solution for Solaris 8 that should
handle Solaris9 too.  Take a look at:
https://lists.ccs.neu.edu/pipermail/scponly/2003-July/000292.html

Try the script in the message.  Once you see a configuration
it is pretty easy to understand.
