New user and restrict path
Hello

I have a question in Aix 5.3 can I create a user, that only can see a specify path.

I mean the user log in the default path its /home/newuser he type cd the path that need to check /example/directory_check but if he wants to go to / or any other path. we can not do this.

I only want that the user can move into this two path. or if there is a problem then can only see one path and only one.

I think that maybe in smitty user could be something to restrict but no

Thanks for your tips

You might investigate "restricted shell"s if they are suitable for your purpose. If so, you could set a restricted shell as the users login shell.

I hope this helps.
