I run a domain and host websites for myself and some friends. I am trying to learn all about linux/system administration/security and I want to run a responsible host as I have 24/7 Internet through a DSL. I try to run a secure box.
I want to have easy freedom in limiting user access. I have killed telnetd, and only sshd. I want to allow some users access through ssh, some through ftpd, and some through samba. How can I turn off user access through ssh, but keep their account, and allow them access through ftp? Can I allow users access to shares through samba, and allow them to ftp in, but not ssh or telnet? Basically, I want the default for each service to be no access, and then add users to services indepently - each service allowing access on it own. Does this make sense? Is there an authentication package out there to deal with this? -Percival
