Dear list,
I am running a remote suse server and need to give ssh access to the
users who can work on their particular web folder only. The version of
ssh server is openssh-5.0p1-21.1
I have already did huge google search but could not find any sshd
features which can allow ssh users to restrict them in their home directory.
I have found some documentations where chroot or jailkit is used to
achieve this and these need some more configuration and obviously
"chown root:root <home-folder>" . But I need an option which simply
restrict ssh users so that they can't browse beyond their home directory.
It is also not possible to do "chown root:root <home-folder>" as the
folders which are used as home directory are actually web folder under
apache htdocs having apache permission. I don't need sftp but ssh
access. Is it really impossible to have this feature through ssh technology ?
Thanks
Short answer, "no."
Long answer...
ssh forks the user's login shell, when not using sftp. Because ssh is just a
transport, not a shell, you would need to look into some sort of restricted
shell as the user's login shell, or go all out with a chroot environment that
encapsulates a normal shell.
