[scponly] Fedora Core 5

[Stephen Sankarsingh]

Sorry if this has been asked before, I couldn't find the solution to
this problem in the forum.

I had been using scponly with the chrooted binary on WhiteBox Linux
(based on RHEL 4) to grant my users access to my site.  All I needed to
do was run the "make jail" script for a particular user and it just
worked. Recently, I "upgraded" to Fedora Core 5 since the update servers
were more reliable than WBL, now when I try to create a jailed user with
the "make jail" script, I am prompted for the password then get
"connection closed" immediately afterwards. 

This is the output from '/var/log/secure' after issuing the command,
"sftp test at localhost":


Jun 26 09:57:17 server sshd[2208]: Accepted password for test from
127.0.0.1 port 39589 ssh2
Jun 26 13:57:17 server sshd[2209]: Accepted password for test from
127.0.0.1 port 39589 ssh2
Jun 26 09:57:17 server sshd[2210]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session
opened for user test by (uid=0)
Jun 26 09:57:17 server sshd[2210]: subsystem request for sftp
Jun 26 13:57:18 server scponly[2211]: running:
/usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server (username: test(501), IP/port:
127.0.0.1 39589 22)
Jun 26 09:57:18 server sshd[2210]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session
closed for user test



When I try this in debug mode, I see that the error given is 'exit
status 1'

If on the other hand, I simply change the user's shell to scponly in
'/etc/passwd', it works but then they aren't chrooted and I would prefer
if they were chrooted. 

Is there any easy way to fix this? This script was extremely convenient
when it worked :)
