similar to: reloading configuration in icecast chroot jail on a redhat system

I setup a ssh chroot jail following this[1] guide. It works for my user to login, use ls and use scp which is all I really want. I do have a problem I cannot solve: when connected and navigating the filesystem, the backspace key actually moves the cursor forward and does not delete what I type. I may have found a hint from some googling that readline will read in /etc/inputrc on login but if

I have a need to have users SSH into a server where they are limited to a chroot jail (sandbox). Once they are there, they need to be able to execute 'ssh' and 'scp' to other systems. I've no problem setting up the basic chroot jail and providing basic functionality (ls, cat, less, etc). The part that is stopping me is setting it up so that that user can then 'ssh'

Hi everyone I would like to enable unprivileged users to share only certain directories using SFTP without acquiring root, without setting capabilities using public-key-based forced commands. In another use case unprivileged users could write scripts that evaluate "$SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND" and then either execute sftp-server in a jail "$SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND" after

Hi, I've been struggling with this problem for the last couple of hours and am nowhere near solving the problem. I am trying to run a tftp server in a chroot jail. Now perhaps I am being paranoid, but I would like to have it launched from within its own jail even if it supposedly does a chroot itself and runs with a parameterizable user. I downloaded the atftp-server package and tried

Hi, (Sorry for the long email) As a bit of a learning exercise, I'm trying to place the icecast daemon in a chroot jail. I've been mostly sucessful: I can get icecast to serve the default stream from its jail, however I can't get multiple streams to work. I think the problem is that icecast can't resolve addresses in the jail, however I do have an etc/hosts file and

Hi, I've been working at getting a tftp server up an running in a chroot jail, and I have finally succeed getting almost everything working. The server itself works fine, however, it is implemented as a tcpwrapper application (ie: in.tftpd) and I am having trouble getting it to resolve DNS names. I copied my /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny in my chroot/etc folder, however, they

Hi, This patch (against the current CVS tree) is intended to add secure configuration to icecast 'out of the box'. It adds two configuration directives, 'icecast_user' and 'chroot_dir'. These are intended to be used together to reduce the privileges icecast runs under to the minimum necessary. When this is enabled and run as root icecast will enter the specified chroot

Good afternoon, I have been using OpenSSH 3.8p1 and added code to sftp-server.c so I could put users in chroot jail. When I setup a new system and downloaded OpenSSH 4.4p1 and tried the same patch it fails with the following in the /var/log/messages file: sftp-server[11001]: fatal: Couldn't chroot to user directory /home/newyork/ftpbcc: Operation not permitted I was wondering why one would

Hello, I would like to run other services like messaging services on my firewall machine too. Does it make sense to run shorewall, openvpn and the pppoe package in a chroot jail? And is it possible to run these programs as an other user? Ciao Hugo

[Sorry about "top posting": my OT question arises from the subject..] Could someone elaborate on the "jail" under CentOS. I'm used to FreeBSD jails, and as I run CentOS and some other Linuxes for quite some time I was under impression that there is no such thing as jail under Linux [at least those flavors I run]. Under Linux I did use in variety of places chrooted

Hello, on 9.1-R, I highly appreciate the new jail(8) and jail.conf capabilities. Thanks for that extension! But I have one problem: If I want to stop a jail with 'jaill -r jailname', I get "umount: unmount of /.jail.jailname failed: Device busy" It seems to me that the order of fstab.jailname entries are not reverted by jail(8) when shutting down/umounting. My C skills

Hi *, I recently triggered an error when setting up a jail-host: I configured the jail(s) like evry jail I set up in the past: On the jail-hosts /etc/rc.conf: # ---- Jail-Globals ---- jail_enable="YES" # Set to NO to disable starting of any jails jail_list="ftp mx1 relay" # Space separated list of names of jails
