Keywords: 386bsd, sh, shell, restrict Message-ID: <2b95pvINN714@no-names.nerdc.ufl.edu> Date: 3 Nov 93 20:54:23 GMT Article-I.D.: no-names.2b95pvINN714 Distribution: world Organization: Astronomy Dept. University of Florida Lines: 12 NNTP-Posting-Host: astro.ufl.edu Hi, I would like to have my system open to a number of people letting them have a restricted number of commands available. Specifically I would like them not to be able to chdir above their $HOME and also not to be able to run programs but the ones I supply them with. I've heard about chroot but it seems to me like a lot of trouble plus you need copies of "everything". I figured that a restricted shell of some sort would be the ticket. Now does anyone of you know of any existing such shells? Regards, /Johan
