hi! i need ssh users and sftp users on my server. they don't mix so sftp users have a /bin/false as their shell. however when i try a ssh connect to such a user. he does not get disconnected but hangs forever. can it be that sshd searches foer /bin/false in the chroot environment? but i tried to place it there including ldd requirements. no success. i just want sftp users to get no shell and also no hanging connections... sftp works right now. thanks! --------------------------------------- Protocol 2 PermitRootLogin without-password ChallengeResponseAuthentication=no UsePAM yes X11Forwarding yes PrintMotd no PrintLastLog no Subsystem sftp internal-sftp Match Group sftponly ChrootDirectory %h ForceCommand internal-sftp X11Forwarding no AllowTcpForwarding no --------------------------------------- using OpenSSH_5.2p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8k 25 Mar 2009 example user: test:x:1012:1009::/home/test:/bin/false maybe a new option: DisconnectOnShell yes would help.
