[scponly] rsync using chRoot on Suse 10.2

[John Timmons]

I have been struggling to get rsync to work under a chRooted account
using Scponly.

If I change the user /etc/passwd to use the non chRoot scponly rsync works fine
but if I use
client1:x:1000:100::/home/client1:/usr/local/sbin/scponlyc
 then I get the 0 byte connection error.

I have patched Scponly to get around the -e or --server errors.

I have ldd'd rsync and I have all the libraries
running on Scponly 4.6


Ran "make jail" to create the chRoot account etc

Incoming folder is /home/client1/backup


Rsync command I'm running is

rsync -av /cygdrive/c/text client1 at domain.name:/home/client1/backup

/cygrive/c/text is just some test files

and have tried
client1 at domain.name:/home/client1/backup
client1 at domain.name:/home/client1/backup/
client1 at domain.name:/backup
client1 at domain.name:/backup/
client1 at domain.name:/


log looks like this

However if I chage that user to


client1:x:1000:100::/home/client1:/usr/local/bin/scponly

the rsync works fine :(

Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong??
