Chroot jail

followed  instructions for chrooting on
http://howtoforge.com/chrooted-ssh-sftp-tutorial-debian-lenny and
http://www.fuschlberger.net/programs/ssh-scp-sftp-chroot-jail/
And I get a boatload of fail most notably when attempting to create a new user/

Adding User yourmother to jail

Hi,

Are you sure that you're running the script as root?

I'm logged in as the root user when I input the command #make_chroot_user.sh falko /bin/bash /home

Do I need sudo?  or is there a user file I'm missing?
I'm logged in as the root user when I input the command #make_chroot_user.sh falko /bin/bash /home

In fact #make_chroot_user.sh falko

should be enough in linux systems in that:
- The default shell is /bin/bash
- The path /home is wrong this directory is not rootjail relative and it would try to create jail structure directly under /home. This is not desirable and/or possible due to file and directory permissisons.

 
ahhh hah, ok   so should I just leave them blank?  no that won't work I tried that already, you are supposed to be able to just add the user and the default would make the directories, but that errors out as it is...
Can I alter permissions on the home directory?  Or do I need to make a separate directory to be the chroot, and then change the directory in the script?
just leave it as it is. Run with single parameter (user).

o can alter na permissons as long as yr root : )

hm  I'm still getting the same error without trying to specify any other parameters, with a new user created.

so /home is incorrect?  Or do I need to alter the default path in the script itself?
