I would go with it - what concerns do you have? It appears most people have only got full logging to work from inside a chroot by creating the /dev entry. However this post suggests in later versions this may not be needed: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/openssh/dev/49052#49052 But from the horses mouth: "The ChrootDirectory must contain the necessary files and directories to support the user's session ... sessions which use logging do require /dev/log inside the chroot directory http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd_config "Use of sftp-server in a chroot configuration therefore requires that syslogd(8) establish a logging socket inside the chroot directory. http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp-server Cheers -- Marcus Taylor (Database Application Developer) London Internet Exchange Ltd. 2nd Floor Trinity Court, Trinity Street, PE1 1DA Registered England and Wales number 3137929 DDI 01733 207724 _______________________________________________ Peterboro mailing list Peterboro@mailman.lug.org.uk https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/peterboro
