hi,
i want to setup a group/user to have limited access to a box. basically, i want to give a user the ability to login to the system, but not be able to do anything. ie, i don't want the user to be able to read/write/execute anything other than login to the system.
i'd like to setup a group, if possible, that is configured with these restrictions. i'd then like to be able to have each user belong to this group, thereby having the restrictions that i mentioned...
any ideas/thoughts on how i would/should go about doiing this??
in case you're wondering why i'd need this, i'm using puTTY to allow users to access a website on a server, but i want to restrict access to users via logging into the website, as well as via a cheap tunnel to the server via puTTY. this should give me a realtively cheap/reasonably secure process for users accessing the site..
thanks for any comments/pointers/etc...
i'm using rh8.0
Hi Bruce,
You may want to look at replacing the normal user's shell with a script that doesn't let them do anything, but keeps them logged in for the session. I've used this technique in the past to create a simple menu system for users that would otherwise get lost on the command line. Put the users in un-privaledged groups for added security.
