[Jailkit-users] Suse 64bit SFTP problem

[Jere Retzer]

I'm now working on my target Suse machine, which uses 64bit linux having worked 
out the bugs on a test machine, which uses 32 bit linux

I'm able to get the user into the jail, as reflected in my messages log but the 
session immediately terminates. When I use WinSCP, for example to test with the 
server it says "Cannot initialize SFTP protocol. Is the host running a SFTP 
server?" Here are (edited) messages from localhost:

Accepted keyboard-interactive/pam for [username] from 127.0.0.1 port 52188 ssh2
subsystem request for sftp
now entering jail /home/[jail] for user [username] (1003)
jk_lsh version 2.3, started
cannot find user name for uid 1003: Success

I've discovered that the path for the sftp-server is different from the 32b to 
the 64b Suse, where the executable is in /usr/lib64/ssh/sftp-server
I'm wondering if there are some associated files that need to get copied for 
the sftp-server to run. 

Thanks again for your help
