If the user name is "test", then you might have line like this in /etc/passwd: test:x:503:503:test:/home/test:/bin/bash Now change it to: test:x:503:503:test:/home/test:/bin/rbash # (Note the rbash here instead of bash) This will give the user a restricted shell from the next time he does a login. It will not even allow the user to use a "/" in the command line. For example, if the user does -> test$ cd /etc --> This will say "Error: cd restricted" HTH -- Hari http://hari.accosted.net -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subjecthttps://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
