Hi guys,
I'm new to scponly and have been having some trouble getting it to work.
I looked through the archives but could not find anything so I was 
hoping someone could help me out..

I downloaded scponly-4.6.tgz for use on RHEL 3.

I configured it with only the following option --enable-chrooted-binary

When I ran make install, I get the following output-

/usr/bin/install -c -d /usr/local/bin
/usr/bin/install -c -d /usr/local/man/man8
/usr/bin/install -c -d /usr/local/etc/scponly
/usr/bin/install -c -o 0 -g 0 scponly /usr/local/bin/scponly
/usr/bin/install -c -o 0 -g 0 -m 0644 scponly.8 /usr/local/man/man8/scponly.8
/usr/bin/install -c -o 0 -g 0 -m 0644 debuglevel 
/usr/local/etc/scponly/debuglevel
if test "xscponlyc" != "x"; then                        \
         /usr/bin/install -c -d /usr/local/sbin;                         \
         rm -f /usr/local/sbin/scponlyc;                 \
         cp scponly scponlyc;                            \
         /usr/bin/install -c -o 0 -g 0 -m 4755 scponlyc 
/usr/local/sbin/scponlyc;        \
fi


I verified that scponlyc is installed in /usr/local/bin directory.

I used setup_chroot.sh to create users and everything ran okay.
But each time I try to use pscp to upload a small text file, I get 
the following error.

Fatal: Connection Lost

I tried to use setup_chroot.sh.rh9 in build_extras directory but I 
get the following error-

your scponly build is not configured for chrooted operation.
please reconfigure as follows, then rebuild and reinstall:

./configure --enable-chrooted-binary (... other options)

Has anyone else encountered this problem and able to resolve it?
I'm not sure whether the problem is with the build or setup_chroot.sh.

Thank you in advance for any help.
