RE: OpenSSH, Chroot, and Public Key issue

The issue was the directory permissions due to wanting write into the
directory from outside of the chroot.

We changed tactic to multiple keys and the programming needing to write
inside the chroot now sftp's the files in via a local script.

Hi David,

It sounds like the sshd cannot find the users authorized_keys file.
What is the value of $HOME from a chroot'ed user?
