I have looked at the documentation for RBASH, and it looks like exactly what I need. The only problem is, I don't have RBASH on my system. If I start a bash shell, then type 'bash -r' I get the restricted shell. How do I create/find RBASH???? I have tried aliases and links to no avail. thanks mc Pascal Bleser wrote:
You can make them use a _restricted_ shell (rbash instead of bash) - take a look at "man bash", in "RESTRICTED SHELL" : the users are set chroot, so they can't get "higher" than they're home, but you have to provide a /bin, etc... for every single one of these users !

Does anyone know how to limit a user's ability to navigate the file system.
I know that
FTP automatically creates a false root so that an anonymous FTP connection cannot get below that directory. I would like to be able to allow certain users a login and rights to their home directory ONLY!! I have set very restrictive rights, only to get numerous errors upon login. Even with these restrictive permissions the user can look around if they know UN*X filesystems.
Any help would be appreciated.
