    Hello,

    I have setup a chroot ssh user on a box and I'm having trouble getting
    their login to process, so I was hoping someone would help. I have
    found many a page on this in google, but no solutions have worked yet.

    I think the problem lies in my chroot jail, because here is the
    symptoms (I'm running Fedora Core 3 with a chroot ssh patched SSHD):

    - the user logs in via SSH
    - the login is successful (which can be verified in /var/log/secure)
    - then the following error happens:

    '/bin/bash': No such file or directory

    What is strange is if I run:

    chroot /chroot/ /bin/bash

    It runs just fine. If I run /chroot/home/test2/ I get the error. If I
    run chroot /chroot/ I get the bash shell prompt.

    I have triple checked the libraries with ldd for /bin/bash. The user's
    /etc/passwd entry looks like:
    test2:x:514:515::/chroot/home/./test2:/bin/bash
    Thank you in advance for any help.
