User permission
Hi all,

I created testuser. by following command.
Code:
/usr/sbin/adduser -n test -d /disk05/collections/GET/testdata/

and then set its password by following command.
Code:
passwd testuser

When I login to system by testuser, it enters everything is ok.
The problem is how to set permission to this user not do anything out of its home directory. it is /disk05/collections/GET/testdata/
How can I do this permission?

Thank you

biswagit, please check the solution given by "sysgate". Its again depend on your requirements. If you want your user to be restricted to system file system then chroot jail is the only option.
