    Hello,

    I am trying to mimic an FTP site by creating a home directory for some
    remote users and make it easy for my own local users to attach to all the
    home folders via a Samba share. Not too complicated I hope. Well, I thought
    it might be easiest to edit the etc/sshrc file to enforce all accounts
    logging in to change directory to their home folder, so that the file
    contains nothing but:

    cd /Public/$username

    However, on a Winows client using WinSCP, I get an error saying "Error
    skipping startup message." And then "Network error: connection reset by
    peer". When I log on as root, this does not happen, and I don't get shoved
    into root's home directory either. I am a total newbie to SSH - would anyone
    be good enough to point me in the right direction?

    Many thanks,
    Dan Gapinski
