home directory restriction

[chetana07]

How to restrict a user to his home directory,who is using telnet to login?He should not be able to go to parent directory nor to child directory.

[Dennis Handly · Accepted solution]

Setting the user's shell to rksh or rsh will not let the user use cd and other restrictions.

Shalom,

The methodology is called chroot

Better to be used with ssh though.

Change the shell to /usr/bin/rsh in /etc/passwd
on hp-ux for the specific user to restrict to rsh which will not allow to change directories.

[Sajjad Sahir]

just change users shell in /etc/passwd
u put restricted shell there
i mean rsh
rsh has a lot of features
once rsh shell is there he has a lot of limitation to use commands
