|Subject: rsync + ssh + rbash
|
|Hi, I am trying to connect a user with rsync + shh
|
|it works fine when the user has a /bin/bash shell
|
|but I would like to restrict the shell to its home, so I tried the
|following rbash shell
|
|#!/bin/bash
|/bin/bash --restricted
|

  The correct way to do this, is creating a /bin/rbash symlink to /bin/bash
and setting that, /bin/rbash, as the users' shell.
