sFTP jail set-up & changing home directories

Hi,

so I was following this guide, which I found in this forum topic.

And I've come across an issue I can't fix.

Here's what I want to do:

• I have a user with a home directory. Let's call the user "bossuser" and so his home directory is /home/bossuser.

• Within that home directory there are three other directories.

• Then I create three new users: "dummyuser1" "dummyuser2" and "dummy_user3".

• These three users home directories are supposed to be the three directories in the home directory of "boss_user".

• When "dummyuser1" connects via sFTP I want him to be jailed into his home directory (which is within the home directory of "bossuser").

So what I did was:

adduser dummy_user1
usermod -d /home/boss_user/dir1 -m dummy_user1

Put this into the sshd_config:

Match user dummy_user1
    ChrootDirectory /home/boss_user/dir1
    X11Forwarding no
    AllowTcpForwarding no
    ForceCommand internal-sftp

And following that I executed:

chmod 755 /home/boss_user/dir1

Then I restarted SSH, with:

service ssh restart

What I get when trying to connect with my "dummy_user1" with FileZilla is:

Error:    Network error: Software caused connection abort
Error:    Could not connect to server

How do I fix this issue? I haven't been using linux for too long, so I might have made some stupid mistakes. Just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong here.

Edit: If I remove that part:

<code>[code]Match user dummy_user1
    ChrootDirectory /home/boss_user/dir1
    X11Forwarding no
    AllowTcpForwarding no
    ForceCommand internal-sftp<e>[/code]</e></code>

The user can connect, but (of course, as expected) is not jailed to his home directory.
