I am trying to set up a secure telnet account on my server for a customer. Where do i put the chroot command ? (In one of the dotfiles ?) What permissions are needed for the new root directory ? At present, if i execute this : chroot /usr/home/name then i get 'operation not permitted' Do i need a copy of the shell in a local bin directory, as with ftp access ? Any help appreciated. Craig Stratton.
