At least some people are finding this sort of thing not so simple: http://www.snailbook.com/faq/restricted-scp.auto.html http://www.pizzashack.org/rssh/security.shtml -- Jamie Webb [1] Unless you plan on taking Darcs off the server entirely, which is a much bigger problem, and it's still not clear that DAV would be up to the job. _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.abridgegame.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
