Hi Remus, If you are so inclined you can chroot (change root) the user login. The link below has a brief overview... http://www.tjw.org/chroot-login-HOWTO/ ************************** Kevin Lisciotti, CISSP IT Audit - FRB Boston 617-973-3039 ************************** Jesse Keating <hosting@j2solutions.net> Sent by: psyche-list-admin@redhat.com 01/06/2003 10:38 AM Please respond to psyche-list To: psyche-list@redhat.com cc: Subject: Re: Limit user to use only home folder On Monday 06 January 2003 07:26, Remus uttered: > As I told I need a few accounts for sftp connection and I would like to > prevent these users to see/use root folder. Hrm, I see this request a lot, but I don't exactly understand why.. if the box is properly configured, what would it matter if they see the root partition, or any other globally readable file. Perhaps I'm just too good natured, or don't know how to |-|4x0r enough or whatever. A side question would be, does sftp require a valid shell to do it's file copies? -- Jesse Keating RHCE MCSE For Web Services and Linux Consulting, Visit --> j2Solutions.net Mondo DevTeam (www.mondorescue.org) Was I helpful?
