openssh chrooting

I'd like to grant a user to use sftp on my PC. I installed openssh and it works fine, but when I want this user to be chrooted, it doesn't work. I googled for severeal hours and tried everything in vain.

sshd_conf:

Subsystem       sftp    internal-sftp

 Match User feltolt
   ChrootDirectory /home/feltolt
   ForceCommand internal-sftp

A try:

[siriusb@arch home]$ sftp feltolt@localhost
Password: 
Connected to localhost.
sftp> ls
remote readdir("/"): Permission denied
sftp> exit

The user:

feltolt:x:1002:1002:feltolt,,,,:/home/feltolt:/bin/bash

drwx------  2 root    feltolt  4096 jul    2 13.39 feltolt

So how could I jail this user into its home dir?

Re: openssh chrooting

You are missing a dot in the passwd entry. See for example section 1.3 here http://www.howtoforge.com/chroot_ssh_sftp_fedora7

You need to install an RTFM interface.

Re: openssh chrooting

You can't create a directory named "."
