I don't really feell it is possible... It goes a little bit outside the perimeter of sshd here. You should look more on the system side, a tool such as SELinux may be able to enforce this kind of possible. (i don't think it is possible but i'm far from being 100% here, if somebody disagree with me, please do write it :) ) 2009/4/21 J.

But I need an option which simply restrict ssh users so that they can't browse beyond their home directory. It is also not possible to do "chown root:root <home-folder>" as the folders which are used as home directory are actually web folder under apache htdocs having apache permission. I don't need sftp but ssh access. Is it really impossible to have this feature through ssh technology ? > > Thanks -- Romain PELISSE, "The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it" -- Terry Pratchett http://belaran.eu/
