Not sure of your exact requirements, but maybe this helps: http://joedonner2001.wordpress.com/red-hat-el3/sftp-server-within-a-chro ot-jail/ May be useful as starting point, as it shows how to chroot users into their home directories, so they can't cd out, and so on. You could probably set up users' "home directories" in /etc/passwd to whatever directories they will need to access, e.g. username:x:570:570::/directory/whatever:/usr/bin/rssh as opposed to: username:x:570:570::/home/username:/usr/bin/rssh That's what I would try. -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Davis, Jared Scott Sent: 08 November 2007 22:12 To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: sftp - limit users Hi, I have SFTP set up and users can log in, however, I need to limit 'cd', and restrict users to certain directories. The directory restriction will be different for each user (they normally won't be using their home dir). As of right now the directory listing has them in their home dir and they can cd to anywhere. How do I do this? rbash or chroot? If so, how do I use them?
