User with limited access to one directory
is there a way to create a user and limit him to read,write and execute only in one direcotry.
the directory is already exsist and it belongs to dba group.

i would like to make this user can't even cd to another directory or even if he can he cant do anything in the other directories.

if anyone can help me with this and with the code in doing it, i would be very great full Smilie thanks in advance

this should be the default thing already.... that is.

if you create a home dir john as /home/john, make him as owner and give all permission... he will not be able to do anything with /home/tom or /home/jerry. ( make the permissions appropriately at tom & jerry )

He can manipulate anything under /home/john. are you looking for this -- read about chmod, chown.

if something else -- explain that ?

what you mean by only one directory ? -- only /home/john and he should not go to /home/john/Music or something else ?

If it is he can do anything with /home/john, and he should not go for /home/tom, then tom should be owner of that dir, and for others/group dont give read & execute permission.

Although I'm unsure about what precisely your requirements are, you might achieve that by using a combination of ACLs and a restricted shell like rksh.
