similar to: chroot directory ownership

Hi all, Today, I was tasked at work with setting up a chroot SFTP server on a 64bit Arch Linux server. I naturally turned to Arch Linux's wiki article on the subject (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SFTP-chroot) and the directions were very clear. However, the directions did not work. I kept getting a "Write failed: Broken pipe" error after attempting to connect. Upon digging

Hi, I need to use sftp-only accounts, chroot()ed in their home dirs, on AIX 5.3 with OpenSSH_5.2p1. But there is a problem with the chroot() call. In the do_setusercontext() function, chroot() is called after the setpcred() (only AIX is concerned by the setpcred() call), so privileges are already dropped when chroot() is called. When not calling setpcred(), the chroot() does not fail and the

Hi, I have added calls to `check_ntsec()' to the code which checks for the ownership and modes of identity files and directories. As you might know, check_ntsec() tests if owner/modes are supported by the OS (9x/ME=no, NT/W2K=yes), the filesystem (FAT/FAT32=no, NTFS=yes) and the current Cygwin settings (ntea/ntsec).

Hi, OpenSSH 6.0 is almost ready for release, so we would appreciate testing on as many platforms and systems as possible. This release contains a couple of new features and changes and bug fixes. Testing of the new sandboxed privilege separation mode (see below) would be particularly appreciated. Snapshot releases for portable OpenSSH are available from http://www.mindrot.org/openssh_snap/ The

Take the usual precautions when upgrading. Also note that I have changed some configuration defaults: the server no longer accepts protocol version 1 nor password authentication by default. If your ssh client does not support ssh protocol version 2 or keyboard-interactive authentication, the recommended measures are: 1) get a better client 2) get a better client (I mean it) 3) get a better

Cf. http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2008/Jul/0090.html This Mrdkaaa character claims to have exploited this, but does not say how. The issue is that if do_pam_account() fails, do_authloop() will call packet_disconnect() with loginmsg as the format string (classic printf(foo) instead of printf("%s", foo) bug). The stuff that do_authloop() appends to loginmsg is harmless (the user

Hi, A question regarding chroot, internal-sftp, and time zones: Is it possible to get the time stamps presented by the chrooted internal-sftp to always be aligned with the system global time zone setting? What is the reason this not done by default, that is couldn't the chrooted internal-sftp inherit the time zone information from the SSH daemon? /John -- John Olsson Ericsson AB

Hi Team, I am just a curious individual user who reviewed the OpenSSH;not working for a company. I was just wondering why there is a restriction for chroot directory to be owned by root. The line of code below in session.c show them. The basic UNIX security permissions provide a sufficient access control. Have you guys found a way to bypass security if the directory is not owned by root? -

FreeBSD's <sys/capability.h> was renamed to <sys/capsicum.h> a few years ago to avoid future conflicts with POSIX capabilities. There is still a stub for compatibility, but it would be better not to rely on it.
