Hello all,

I recently built a chroot jail from scratch. I'm not using the /./ patch
but built a custom one based on the http://intmainvoid.nl/?chroot+shell
instructions.

Now everything is working for the chroot and the secure shell, except for
public key authentication.

Users who are not in the chroot can use public keys, those who are can't.

I would appreciate any help at all. I've been working on this for days and
can not figure out what's wrong:

Chroot users are in the following directory:
/home/sftp/[username]/home/[username]/

I use the:
#!/bin/bash

# chrootshell spawns chroot shell
#
# (c) 2003-2005 Anne Jan Brouwer
# GNU GPL

if [ "$1" = "-c" ]
then
       i=0
       PARAMETERS=""
       for parameter in $*
       do
               if [ $i -gt 0 ]
               then
                       PARAMETERS="$PARAMETERS $parameter"
               fi
               let i++
       done
       sudo /usr/sbin/chroot /home/$USER /bin/su - $USER -c "$PARAMETERS"
else
       sudo /usr/sbin/chroot /home/$USER /bin/su - $USER
fi

as my Chroot shell Script.

Below is my debug info from openssh. Any help would be greatly appreciated:
