Symptoms
In Parallels Plesk Panel (PP), users cannot log in via SFTP if their shell access is set to chrooted shell. The utility sftp-server reports the following error:$ usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server
No user found for uid 10000Cause
The libnss libraries are not copied to the chrooted environment because PP looks for them in /lib or /lib64, but on Ubuntu 12.04, they are in /lib/i386-linux-gnu and /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu, respectively.Without libnss_compat.so.2 in the chrooted environment, no UID can be resolved to the actual username causing sftp-server to report the above error.
Resolution
The issue will be fixed in a future update for which a new Knowledgebase article will be created. You may subscribe to new articles on Parallels Plesk Panel products if you wish to receive notifications about their creation.Workaround
Copy the libnss_compat.so.2 library and its dependency libnsl.so.1 to the lib directory of the chrooted environment:For a 64-bit environment:
# cp /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnss_compat.so.2 /var/www/vhosts/chroot/lib/
# cp /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnsl.so.1 /var/www/vhosts/chroot/lib/For a 32-bit environment:
# cp /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libnss_compat.so.2 /var/www/vhosts/chroot/lib/
# cp /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libnsl.so.1 /var/www/vhosts/chroot/lib/
