Sun Managers,
I am attempting to set up a chroot'ed SFTP environment within a Solaris
10 Zone. I am able to make chroot'ed SSH & chroot'ed SFTP work just
fine on Solaris 10 outside of a zone. Within a Solaris 10 zone,
chroot'ed SSH works. However, within a Solaris 10 zone, chroot'ed SFTP
fails. To illustrate the problem, snippets of my session are below.
The zone user "sshtest" is configured to chroot.
root@zone1 # ssh -l sshtest zone1
sshtest@zone1's password:
Last login: Wed Feb 28 11:56:09 2007 from localhost
Sun Microsystems Inc. SunOS 5.10 Generic January 2005
$ cd /
$ ls
bin dev home lib usr
$ ls -l /dev
total 0
crw-rw-rw- 1 0 0 13, 2 Feb 28 18:53 null
crw-rw-rw- 1 0 0 13, 12 Feb 28 18:53 zero
Clearly, chroot SSH works. However, when I attempt to SFTP...
root@zone1 # sftp sshtest@zone1
Connecting to zone1...
sshtest@zone1's password:
Connection closed
A manual attempt to start SFTP from within the chroot'ed environment
produces the following clues:
root@zone1 # ssh -l sshtest zone1
sshtest@zone1's password:
Last login: Wed Feb 28 12:10:22 2007 from localhost
Sun Microsystems Inc. SunOS 5.10 Generic January 2005
$ /usr/local/libexec/sftp-server
Couldn't open /dev/null: No such device or address
But as seen in the session above, clearly /dev/null exists in the
chroot'ed environment.
I know that zones require explicit permission to access a raw device.
So I have added access to both the special file "null" within the
chroot/dev/ directory (using the full path to that device file from the
global zone) and to the global zone's own /dev/null (though I believe
this step is redundant).
You can see what I mean from this partial snippet of my zone config.
root@global-zone # zonecfg -z zone1
zonecfg:zone1> info
[...]
device
match: /zone-exports/zone1/home/sshtest/chroot/dev/null
device
match: /dev/null
After granting access to these device files, it still doesn't work. Any
push in the right direction would be appreciated.
For reference:
SSH/SFTP software - OpenSSH 4.5p1
w/ chroot patch (http://chrootssh.sourceforge.net)
OS: SunOS 5.10 Generic_118833-33 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V240
The chroot'ed environment was configured based on the how-to posted at
http://chrootssh.sourceforge.net/docs/chrootedsftp.html
Thanks in advance!
