Mark,
Rebuild openssh with the chroot USE flag enabled and then have a look
at the following HOWTO:
http://www.howtoforge.com/chrooted_ssh_howto_debian
It's a bit of work to set up but it works well. We have a similar
setup at work for our shared hosting customers.
Regards,
Greg
Thanks Greg. That looks pretty manageable and easier than some of the
full blown chroots I've built before under Gentoo. Certainly good
enough to try things out and see how it works.
Thanks a lot,
Mark
