User restrictions

Hi,

I am setting up a new Suse server and I'm very happy with it Smilie. So far Apache2, SVN, PHP5 and MySQL are up and running. Now I want to create and delete users (for coders for our projects) but they aren't allowed to do anything so there must be some restrictions. I want access restriction so they can only visit /home/$username/* and /public/www/* (but not parent dirs!) and they may only use svn (not yast or other stuff to modify the server). How can I do this?

Regards!
Kevin

NAME
murmur-user-wrapper - User wrapper for murmurd. SYNOPSIS
murmur-user-wrapper [options] DESCRIPTION
Murmur is the server component of Mumble, a low-latency, high quality VoIP application. Murmur-wrapper is a wrapper script to make it eas- ier for normal users to set up their own, private murmur server. OPTIONS
-d "directory" Set directory to use. By default, the wrapper script uses $HOME/murmur -s Check if murmur process is running. -k Terminate running murmur process. -i Initialize only, do not start the server. -p "password" Specify password for the SuperUser account and exit. SuperUser is the mumble equivalent of root, a special user which bypasses all access restrictions. NOTES
To create your own private server, you first want to run murmur-user-wrapper -i Then edit ~/murmur/murmur.ini to set the various configuration settings. The most important is probably the port; unless you're the only murmur process running on this server, you'll need to change it. When you're happy with your settings, you need to set the password for SuperUser, which is your administrator account. murmur-user-wrapper -p <password> Once this is done, simply run murmur-user-wrapper to start the server.
