Almost works ;).
Doing what you suggest, I can sftp to the account, but when I do ssh to
that account, I get the regular login message but no prompt. Something
seems to hang. When I type something and hit return, I get:


bad message
Connection to foo.bar.com closed.
$

It somehow blocks ssh login indeed, but it's not very nice!


BTW will sftp also work with the /etc/chroot file?

Thanks,
Rob.
