Here Is Working 2.2.5 create_chroot_env.sh

[Mike_UK]

The create_chroot_env.sh didn't work when I installed the vmware image, or following the upgrade to 2.2.5.

I looked around, edited the script and it's been enhanced with the following utils.

env wget ftp dig traceroute host sh
grep cat pico gzip gunzip bash ls mkdir
mv pwd rm id ssh ping dircolors less tail
nslookup resolveip

Remove them from the APPS= line if you don't want them.
If the format on the forum is bad, the APPS= line & the cp /libs/lib* line should be on one line!

Hi Falko, for a long time I have been needing to do chroot, you say to me that placing this script it works? help me please, or it tell me please like making the installation of chroot.

uff i try i probe but sorry ... but I do not have possibility, I do not understand script or it does not work to me at least

a doubt script, prevents a user to change to a directory who is not of their property? that is what I need to do with ssh, excuse me again but I do not understand ...

greetings alberto

This thread is really old and the script is already obsolete. It was for ISPConfig 2.2.5, we have now ISPConfig 2.2.12.

Search in the forums for chroot ssh and you will find some threads that explain the setup of a chroot SSH enviroment and how to enable it in ISPConfig. Here is also a howto that explains how to compile SSHD with chrooting enabled:
