Hi Jaivinder

>>I want a user to access only its home directory

Restricted user access is made possible with the help of a special command shell known as the restrictes shell(rsh). It provides the same functionalit as a normal posix shell except the following restrictions.
a user can't chage directories
a user can't set or change the environment vairables SHELL,PATH,OR ENV
a command cannot be issued with that starts /.
I/O redirection is disabled
in /etc/passwd file u can put like these
/usr/sbin/rsh

eg: sajjad:gSuQCVbpU9.QQ:108:20:,,,:/home/sajjad:/usr/bin/rsh

thanks and regards

Hi jai

You can use restrict shell rsh (/usr/bin/rsh)
Modify the user SAM >> Accounts forUsers & Groups >> Action >> Modify and change startup Program with /usr/bin/rsh
