Scponly and rsync

Hello,

I managed to get everything working with scponly, rsync, scp and a
chroot (it was not easy)

Everything ? Not quite. I cannot use the option "--bwlimit=n" in my
rsync command.

I hade to modify scponly.h so that it accepts the '=' character (and
then recompile), so I do not get any more the error of the invalid
character '='.

But now I get this error in my auth.log scponly server :

scponly[93975]: option --bwlimit=50 is not permitted for use with
/usr/bin/scp

and the following line : "tried to use disallowed argument"

Here is my rsync command on the client :

rsync -avx -e ssh -C --bwlimit=50

What is wrong with the "--bwlimit" argument ?

Thanks.

Jérôme.

Exactly why are using scponly?

To be able to trap the users in their chrooted environment (it is a
shered server, so I do not want the user to browse the system). Except
the "bwlimit", scponly just works great.

you could also use rssh in a chrooted env. It works fine.
