Thanks a lot for your support...I got many responses for this
query...but still the issue persists.
I am explaining the problem with more clarity below....
So far, we have been using "wu-ftp" FTP server for ftp operations.
From now on, we are planning to support SFTP operations using
openSSH-4.6p1 in solaris.
Problem :
--------------
In wu-ftp, we observed the following configuration factilities
available. Similarly we are looking these kind of configuration facility
from openSSH SFTP also.
How Wu-FTP worked for us previously :
-------------------------------------------------------
Wu-ftp provides option to configure the default directory,
authentication password and user credentials in /etc/ftpaccess file.
The lines in the etc/ftpaccess file are :
1) virtual 192.168.65.1 root
/usr/users/mp2se/AlarmTrap/map1/ftp/192.168.65.1
defines a default directory, if login is successful.
2) virtual 192.168.65.1 passwd
/usr/users/mp2se/AlarmTrap/map1/ftp/192.168.65.1/etc/passwd
authenticates username & password.
3) virtual 192.168.65.1 allow cisco superuser
Allows the cisco/superuser to ftp/login to 192.168.65.1.
What we are looking :
-------------------------------
In wu-ftp , we are specifying the default directory for logins. This is
evident from the above first entry.(virtual 192.168.65.1 root
/usr/users/mp2se/AlarmTrap/map1/ftp/192.168.65.1). Similarly, I need to
specify default root directory for SFTP in sshd_config file. But I do
not see any option to specify the default directory in the config file.
(sshd_config file).
Further, I have to assign the default directory, for many virtual ip
addresses. Can you please clarify me, how I can proceed to tackle this
issue.
Without this configuration, I am not able to heading my works.
Thanks in advance.

Subject: Multihomed Configuration
Hi Folks,
I am using version openssh-4.6p1 in solaris server.
Consider my solaris PC is configured as multihomed with two NIC.
e69001% ifconfig -a
ce0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
inet 172.23.87.109 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 172.23.87.255
ce1: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 3
inet 192.168.2.133 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.2.255
I mean my PC has two IP address. By making use of ListenAddress in
sshd_config file, i can able to listen ssh/ sftp request from both IP
addresses.
e69001# grep "ListenAddress" sshd_config
#ListenAddress 0.0.0.0
#ListenAddress ::
ListenAddress 172.23.87.109
ListenAddress 192.168.2.133
If we do sftp to both the IP address from different machine, it will
pointout the same default root directory.
From machine1:
tballraker7# ./sftp svplus@192.168.2.133
Connecting to 192.168.2.133...
svplus@192.168.2.133's password:
sftp> pwd
Remote working directory: /usr/users/svplus
sftp > quit
From machine2:
cwmsent51# ./sftp svplus@172.23.87.109
Connecting to 172.23.87.109...
svplus@172.23.87.109's password:
sftp> pwd
Remote working directory: /usr/users/svplus
sftp > quit
Here, the default directory will be defined based on the login username.
But, Is it possible to assign/ configure different default directory for
each IP address with same login username?
