[scponly] scp failing in chrooted environment

[Paul Hyder]

Which operating system and ssh?  (e.g. The OpenSSH scp calls getpwuid to
verify the UID and since it is run after the chroot it could be something
simple like your chrooted /etc/passwd is missing or unreadable; but the
passwd file isn't always the cause.  With OpenSSH it does mean the
getpwuid is returning NULL.)
