Re: [gentoo-server] Virtual ssh users

[Ben Munat <bent@munat.com>]

Hmm, I haven't messed with jail in a while... Well, did you add the jailed user to the 
regular system with useradd? In other words, there are two steps to adding a jailed user: 
add the user to the regular system with useradd and a shell of /usr/bin/jail and then add 
the user to jail with addjailuser and a shell of /bin/bash. Oh, and the /usr/bin/jail 
shell needs to be in /etc/shells.

If that doesn't help, look around on the jail website and try the mailing list.

good luck,

Ben
