Restricted directory access.

Gulam Mohiuddin — Thu, 26 Oct 2006 12:18:52 GMT

I have to create a new user account which should have read/write access to following two directories only on our HP-UX server.

/hrms/tmp/pdf
/psoft/hrms/pdf

This user should not be able to read or navigate anywhere else.

Thanks,

Gulam.

Use chroot functionality in ssh - http://docs.hp.com/en/T1471-90015/ch01s15.html

Gulam,

Also you might want to check out those two threads, they talk about the same that you are trying to accomplish:

Thansk for your response.

But I guess chroot restricts user acccess to only one single directory.

But in my case, I would like to restrict my user to two directories which are:

/hrms/tmp/pdf
/psoft/hrms/pdf

Thanks,

Gulam.
