Hi,
You need to create the /dev/null device in each user's home directory... e.g.:
mknod /dev/null c 2 2
The sftp server requires access to /dev/null starting in more recent releases, and the chroot_safe script does not provide it that access.
Hope this helps!

Thanks Adam, now it works beautifully. I did have to add #!/bin/sh to the top of sftp-server-chroot script in order for it to work. This may have been implicitly obvious to all previous readers of the how-to, however I thought it would execute by some magic thingie behind the scenes, or maybe I just didn't think. Maybe someone with an account on crux.nu could update the script with #!/bin/sh and add a note about the /dev/null creation for the benefit of future dummies like myself. Best Regards, Martin
