restricted access...
Hi
I need to restrict users shell access to only $HOME under /home for each user. I don't want them getting out of their own directories. From what I understand chroot is something I could use, but I want to avoid this since it involves creating symbolic links to a number of places and I'm not sure what would be involved to link mySQL and web server things since these users virtually host websites on this machine. I was thinking more of something in their profiles, .rbash ? How do I use this on Linux, Red Hat?
Many thanks for any help.
Regards
p.s. apologies I had posted this in a wholly innappropriate place previously

We want to secure access to a server by restricting the number of users who can login to it. Our users are NIS users. Only few of them can telnet/ssh this server.
Do you have any idea on how to implement that?
