You might consider, if you feel you must jail your users something I just cam across: http://paradigma.pt/~gngs/sshjail/downloads/ It is a fine example of open source doing what it does best. Here is the article which I just read about it: http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=07/04/11/211209 Remember, once you jail people, they cannot do anything else. It is upto you to fix any problems that might occur in this kind of an environment. Cheers. -- greg, [EMAIL PROTECTED] I don't mow my lawn anymore. I just intimidate it into not growing. Though it is quite hard to intimidate grass, it has been around a long time and has quite an attitude about it.
