Re: [Jailkit-users] sftp fails when Jail user tries to login. 'Connection Closed'

[Richard Scott]

try changing the shell you use from the default one when adding the jail user i.e.

 -s | --shell= shell    : set shell inside jail (/usr/sbin/jk_lsh default

$ jk_jailuser -j /my/jail -s /bin/bash jailuser

try using /bin/bash (obviously as long as you've coppied it into the Jail.

jk_cp -j /my/jail /bin/bash

Hi All,

I have tried using Jailkit version 'jailkit-2.15.tar.gz' on Ubuntu as well as SuSE 11.

I am trying to configure this machine as SFTP server where users can login to the Jail and add/del files to it.

 

I followed the instructions in the webpage http://olivier.sessink.nl/jailkit/howtos_sftp_scp_only.html

On both the machines, I am not able to login to the jail with the jail users created.

 

I have followed below set of commands to install and configure Jailkit

2. cd /opt
3. sudo gunzip jailkit-2.15.tar.gz
   
4. sudo tar -xvf jailkit-2.15.tar
5. cd jailkit-2.15
6. sudo ./configure
7. cat INSTALL.txt
8. sudo make
9. sudo make install
10. sudo cp extra/jailkit /etc/init.d/jailkit
11. sudo chmod a+x /etc/init.d/jailkit
12. sudo jk_init -j /opt/sftpjail jk_lsh
13. sudo jk_init -j /opt/sftpjail sftp
14. sudo jk_init -j /opt/sftpjail scp
15. sudo useradd test
16. sudo jk_jailuser -m -j /opt/sftpjail test
17. sudo killall jk_socketd
18. sudo jk_socketd

 

 

I then tried to login locally using below command

sftp address@hidden

Connecting to localhost...

address@hidden's password:

Connection closed

 

Content from jk_lsh.ini

susepc1 etc/jailkit> pwd

/opt/sshd-sftp-chroot/etc/sftpjail

 

susepc1 etc/jailkit> cat jk_lsh.ini

## example for a user

#[test]

paths= /usr/bin, /usr/lib/

executables= /usr/bin/scp, /usr/lib/sftp-server

#allow_word_expansion = 0

#umask = 002

 

#

##example for a group, there should be only 1 space inbetween the words!

#[group users]

#paths = /usr/bin

#executables = /usr/bin/cvs

#allow_word_expansion = 0

#environment= HELIX_PATH=/opt/RealPlayer/, TMP=/tmp/

 

 

The error I see is in /var/log/warn

jk_lsh[6961]: did neither find a section 'test', nor 'group users' nor 'DEFAULT' in configfile /etc/jailkit/jk_lsh.ini

 

I tried to google out a lot to figure out the issue. However it went in vain.

 

Not sure, why Jain user 'test' is not able to sftp to the Jail?

Can you help. I am not able to figure out the issue.

 

Thanks in advance

 

Regards

Aravind
