Well.....I'm scratching my head on this one. I did what I thought would work (and it works on my Solaris 8 box) but not on my RH 8. As root I took these 3 steps. 1. In /bin I "ln -s bash rbash" to create the symbolic link. 2. In /etc/passwd I changed the user's shell to /bin/rbash. 3. Added /bin/rbash to the /etc/shells file. Hummmm......need more coffee..... As I said, this works just fine under Solaris. Must be missing something subtle. Ed P.S. Doing the above is just the first step to getting a user really restricted. I believe more needs to be done....but since I don't do it that often..... -- http://webcams.greshko.com/ Do you this man, Peter Boeni? http://www.shorewall.net/ for all your firewall needs -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
