I am also interested in this topic. According to the man page chroot would work something like this as users shell but I can't get it work even though I copied /bin/bash to /home/login/bin chroot /home/login /home/login/bin/bash -i Is there a chroot shell you could assign users or simpler way to put them in a jail? What is wrong with the above line? jay _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
