Rsync on Cygwin - Restrict user to several directories
Hi,
I'm using rsync on cygwin (winXP) to sync our files between several laptops and XP (acting as a file server)

For simplicity I use the same user account with different certificates over SSH.

Now my question is;
If a user understands the logic and modifies the rsync command, he can easily download everything from the XP box, even from different drives.
How can I restrict the common user account (say "rsyncuser") to only several folders on specific drives ?

Thanks for any help..

Cemo
