    Hi,

    I am working on giving ssh access to a sourceforge like site. people
    need ssh access for 2 things, update their web pages and cvs. I am
    reluctant to give shell access to the uses as these can be done using
    rsync and cvs over ssh. I looked around the openssh docs including the
    O'Reilly book and what is recommended is to use no-pty in the key to
    provide cvs and rsync with out shell access.

    But one problem with this approach is that, users will be able to over
    write their keys and gain access to the shell. I have search a lot but
    could not find a way to configure sshd so that it is in no-pty (or
    similar) mode so that people can use the server for rsync and cvs but
    not shell or login access.

    My another question is how to enable logging for a chrooted sshd?

    TiA
