  2. Any news on chroot support? by RT+Alec · · Score: 3, Interesting

    One feature I have been waiting for is the ability to chroot my users when they log in, even if just for file transfers. This would ensure that users would not be able to wander the entire directory tree of the server. I have had some success (on FreeBSD) with creating single jail for all client logins, and then applying some clever directory permissions for the higher directories (usualy o-x for directories). There was a commercial version of SSH that had a chroot feature, but I would prefer to stick with openssh. IMHO, this is the one area that FTP outdoes SFTP (but not enough for me to dumb my security down and allow FTP!!).

    Any other ideas?
