Hello,
I am trying to get sftp secured using OpenSSH. I have been able to jail the users to their home directory and remove the cygdrive virtual directory from showing but I have been unable to get the /dev virtual directory removed from the users when they SFTP. In the past I have been able to just add "/dev /null none bind" to the fstab file but that no longer works.
Can anyone suggest how I may be able to accomplish this with CYGWIN_NT-6.3 and openssh 7.6p 1-1 ?
Regards,
Shad

If you jail the user to their home directory, they shouldn't be able to see
the Cygwin root in first place.
I don't understand your issue.

Andrey,
They are not able to see the cygdrive. They are able to see the /dev virtual directory and all of the device mounts within it.

And why do you want to remove that? There's nothing in /dev your users
shouldn't see, but there's stuff in there required for certain
functionality. For instance, bash handles /dev/std{in,out,err} and
people may rely on this. Also, any application using the default paths
for POSIX shmem, semaphores and message queues will stop working.
