Hi all, I'm creating an account for my kids on my box. It is likely that security by obscurity will probably work just fine (for a time), but it got me wondering: what sorts of things should one include in a security checklist for setting up limited access user accounts?
My first thought is to use a chroot jail. Is this an appropriate situation to utilize one? I know they are typically used for remote access. I would like to hear other ideas on general system security, or other implementations as well (PAM, password shadowing, Linux security models, Kerberos, etc.). Here's another specific on which I would like to hear comments: I need to keep the login/password and user environment simple so they can authenticate and use their programs independent of my help. But I also want this procedure/environment to be as locked down as possible. What are the best ways of balancing security and accessibility in this case? Thanks for your thoughts!
