Hi, I'm new to linux and unix, and i have couple of problems:
1) how can i limit the access for a user, for example, i created a user, and i want that this user will be able to be only in one directory, and will see only the files i want him to. 2) I have a domain name, and i want that every time i type this domain name in the browser, it will be connected to my unix/linux server. (to connect a DNS with my own server) 10Q very much... |

CHROOT
To do as you wish, you could use chroot in the /etc/password file in the last field (where the shell is). For example, to make the user have a root of /home/misha, then you would change the final field in /etc/password to be something like:
Code:
/usr/bin/chroot /usr/misha /bin/sh As PxT suggests, chroot is the approach. However, building a chroot environment can be tricky because commands that a user would normally have access to are not available unless explicitly under the new chroot directory. In other words, you must build a new environment under the new pseudo root file system and provide all commands. This could be difficult for newbies, but it can be done I suggest reading the chroot manpage and supporting documents carefully. |
