You mean you want to chroot the user so that they can't transfer files outside of that directory? If so, the answer is no, openssh does not support this. Any user that has ssh access to your system (or sftp via the openssh server) has regular access to every file, including your world readable password file. This limitation is why I claim that ftp is *more* secure than ssh for file transfers in many/most environments. For some very odd reason, the openssh aren't too eager to fix this and when I raised this with the Red Hat openssh package maintainer, he wasn't eagar either since he felt that if the openssh group wasn't going to do, he shouldn't either. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
