SFTP authentication failing
The Next CEO of Stack Overflowset up a chrooted SFTP login with OpenSSHCan't get Passwordless (SSH provided) SFTP workingCreating multiple SFTP users for one accountSecure SFTP Configuration that Allows SFTP User Write Accesschroot SFTP to another users subdirectoryHow can I setup ProFTP and SSHD_config to FTP and SFTP to the same directory on Ubuntu 12.04?Issue with SSH on RHEL while monitoring logs from SpectorSoft Server ManagerSFTP to a server is failing sometimessshd_config how to allow one user to have full unrestricted sftp and allow sshbad ownership or modes for chroot directory “/var/www”
I am trying to setup sftp access for our customers to download or upload files. While trying to setup the directory permissions and user access I keep getting errors as such.
server1 sshd[21760]: Accepted password for user01 from 192.168.1.118 port 51026 ssh2
server1 sshd[21760]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user user01 by (uid=0)
server1 sshd[21775]: fatal: bad ownership or modes for chroot directory "/home/user01"
server1 sshd[21760]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session closed for user user01
I have the following setup in the sshd_config file:
Match Group sftp_users
ChrootDirectory %h
ForceCommand internal-sftp
Folder/file permissions show as this:
drwxr-xr-x 4 user01 sftp_users 4096 Mar 28 09:26 /home/user01
I have a mounted drive as such:
//windowserver/ftproot/customers/user01 on /home/user01 type cifs (rw)
What I am failing to understand/determine is if the user "user01" has read/write access to it's own home directory on the local machine, but when using ssh/sftp the error of "bad ownership/modes" is returned. Is it because the session for user01 is opened by uid=0? In this case the uid for user01 is 502, while the uid for root is 0.
If additional information is needed from what I have given here, please let me know and I'll post that info.

I forgot to include that if I comment out the ChrootDirectory parameter in sshd_config file that user01 is then able to connect via sftp but has full access to the server file structure (not at all ideal). That's why I'm using Chroot Directory to limit access to just the user's home directory.
