There is no response from ssh server when a chroot user is logged in.
Issue
- When "ForceCommand internal-sftp" is added to /etc/ssh/sshd_config and user connects to ssh server by using ssh command with the specific user name e.g. test, there is no response from ssh server.
- sshd_config is configured to only allow sftp connection for test user, ssh/scp are disabled. However ssh server does not display an error message when an ssh connection is attempted as test user.
[/etc/ssh/sshd_config]
