Oops!  I meant to; I hate that too.  That said, I've gotten into the
habit of checking all unknown tar balls with tar -t...

But this is fixed now.  Thanks.

I took a look at it, and found you've hit on one of my pet peeves: 
when you untar it, your tarball makes a mess in the current directory.

I'd suggest having it untar into an "rssh-0.9.1" subdirectory instead.

It's not a bad idea, but I think it would be easy to make any number
of requests like this.  Someone will think it's a good idea to add lpr
to the list... and so on.  I really don't want to get into the role of
writing a configurable restricted shell...  

OTOH, I have made some updates to the shell, including a cheesy,
home-grown configure/make build environment, and several bugs.  I
still don't have any docs though.  ;-)

I've always thought this was really cool.  Never got around to setting
it up though.

suggestion for the restricted ssh shell

2002-08-18 Thread John Abreau

Derek; 

In regards to the dummy shell you wrote that restricts itself to scp and
sftp-server commands, it might be useful to also permit imapd and popd.
I use fetchmail through an ssh tunnel, where it invokes imapd in
preauth mode. Here's what I have in my .fetchmailrc:

poll asgard with proto IMAP auth ssh
plugin 'ssh %h /usr/sbin/imapd'
