Default sftp chroot NOT httpd chroot

Hello,

I'm experiencing the exact problem as luismi. Standard recipe for granting sftp only access to a directory via "internal-sftp" in OpenSSH (sshd_config mods) lets the user access the directory, but with no write privileges. chmod of directory breaks the ability to login to the directory. (sftp seems happy with 755 on my box.)

As I understand the documentation for OpenBSD 4.3, chroot for sftp is independent of chroot for httpd (/var/www). So, I'd be surprised if adding files to ChrootDirectory grants the desired write privileges. The ability to break sftp by chmod-ing ChrootDirectory makes me think that sshd_config may require additional mods.

Thanks,

jon4t2
