Look at the okname() function in scp.c. You'd have to think about how to implement this so you can: 1) Not expose yourself to unnecessarily risky code and functionality. 2) Provide for a (scalable) way to configure the list of "blacklisted" filenames so that it doesn't require undue -HUP (or worse, recompilation) of the SSH services. 3) Resist the tempation to use risky libraries to expand the flexibility of your "blacklisting" specifications, i.e., PCRE & friends. =M= _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
