On OpenBSD_3.2/OpenSSH_3.5, with PasswordAuthentication, logging in to an account with no $HOME does the following: Could not chdir to home directory: /home/freak: No such file or diretory % pwd / % With PasswordAuthentication off, I get: Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive). > since it is only to login to the fileserver for music > access. What does "music access" mean? Maybe serve the files with NFS or HTTP instead? > Is there any way I can grant that user SSH access > without giving permission to write to anything Well, almost any user is going to be able to write to /tmp unless you are really paranoid. In the above example, the user 'freak' doesn't own any files, nor is that user in any group that owns any files. > and leaving that > user so that they can only access a single directory and it's subdirectories? Not in OpenSSH itself. You should set the user up with a restricted, or chroot'd $SHELL. -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Eug-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
