Unfortunately, that was no help. I started over with

Hi,
First of all , i shall say Thank you so much for your great help from my
inner part .:-)
I do have successfully done for ftp service , i am using Wu-ftp on RedHat
Linux. :-)
What i have right now is grant a user a shell account and only allow him
remotely access
the RedHat linux via SSH and restrict his access on nothing but the file
and dir
Under His Own Home Directory .
I have got some other help that told me to write a restricted shell like
rbash in bash to achieve
the goal , I will post the result once i have done it.
What i have tried is replace the corresponding user's default shell
environment "/bin/bash" with
a new restrict shell , i add the following line into this new shell :
sudo chroot $HOMEDIRECTORY /bin/sh
of course , no password required for sudo of chroot command for this user.
but that maybe open a hole that it runs a suid program , right ?
waiting for your help again , :-)
c u online then.

too cool. thx! ok... since I don't have enough room on / to move /usr's

this isn't the case, please someone scream!

Subject: Having problem creating partition
Date: Thu, 5 Apr 2001 20:12:25 -0400
I have been issued a HP pavilion 5250 laptop with both win/me and win2k on it.
The reason I have it is for it to serve as a terminal with my cell phone. I am
a HP3000 system administrator/manager. Well I thought rather then let this go
to waste as HP3000s have few problems I thouhg I would put linux on it and do
some useful work. The win stuff show over 5 gig free and that there were a
couple of partitions, the big one with the free space was last and was FAT32.
So I defragmented and scanned. Then got the FIPS that handles FAT32. It would
only give me a few hundred meg where I was looking for 4 gig or so. It said
there was a file on the disk that prevented it giving me more. The defragger
did not show anything. I also lost win/me but no big deal.
So how do I find that file and move it or whatever? I know next to nothing
about windows and have to no desire to learn. So please make it simple, thanks.

BUT, NOT with every IDE cd-rw out there. My IDE PleXWriter 8432Ti won't
work reliably with ide-scsi emulation, and the only way I can play audio CDs
is with xcdroast. My next CDRW will be scsi, and so with the zip drive.

Hmm.. i did this about a year ago. Hope i still remember how to do it ..
properly. Anyway, i think this is what i did.
I made sure that everything is in the first 1024 cylinders of the hard
drive, due to the use of old lilo.
ie.
Partition your hard drive with Linux first. I use fdisk to partition
everything, specifying the correct partition type for each partition. What
i have is:
/dev/hda1 1 131 1052226 b Win95 FAT32
/dev/hda2 132 262 1052257+ 6 FAT16
/dev/hda3 263 279 136552+ 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda4 * 280 526 1984027+ 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 280 296 136521 83 Linux
/dev/hda6 297 305 72261 83 Linux
/dev/hda7 306 338 265041 83 Linux
/dev/hda8 339 469 1052226 83 Linux
/dev/hda9 470 526 457821 83 Linux
Win98 goes in /dev/hda1, WinNT goes into /dev/hda2 and Linux root partition
/ goes into ... /dev/hda5 :) Yeah i know this is messy oh well.
Always always install Win95/98/ME2000 first. That thing always mess around
with your MBR.
Then install WinNT.
Then it's time to install linux. Install normally.
/dev/hda5 /
/dev/hda6 /tmp
/dev/hda7 /var
/dev/hda8 /usr
/dev/hda9 /home
Add LILO to MBR with /dev/hda1 as Win98, /dev/hda2 as WinNT and image in
/dev/hda5 as linux.
Then again, i manually edit lilo so that i can boot into those 3 operating
system and i'm using Debian.
eg.
boot=/dev/hda
root=/dev/hda5
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
delay=5
default=Linux243
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.3
label=Linux243
read-only
other=/dev/hda1
label=Win95
other=/dev/hda2
label=WinNT

Well, i have not tested lilo much, so i can't really say. Most of the time,
i just made sure that my boot partition is above 1024.

I've got to start somewhere. I've asked several people I know (who have
worked with computers, one with Unix, all their lives), face to
face, about this question and gotten unsatisfactory answers (eg. "Just put
a UPS on your system" did not explain why my default install was
intollerant of a power shutdown but when I unchecked many default services
then shutdown and then rebooted I discovered that not only the OS but
some applications were tollerant of a power shutdown). There is a sentence
I read in one Unix book by the author who said he's been in Unix for 20
years and is still learning things.

I am aware of five filesystems and some of the advantages and
disadvantages of two or three of them. I will stay with the ext2 for the
time being.
I'm less interested in "risk" than I am in what WILL or WILL NOT happen.

There are a lot of bright guys on msdos who know a lot more about OSes,
and many different OSes, than you might think. Some of them don't like
Windows either.
and
> sci.research.careers???
Some of the people I know who are using Linux hang out there and I asked
them this question, and also did not get very satisfactory answers
although I got well meaning attempts. I think I found a partial answer all
by myself and wanted to share it back with them, too, plus any
"fallout" responses to my FYI post.

I've monitored all of the major Linux newsgroups for the better part of a
year and the question never came up, at least until I posted my original
question. For your information, I have saved all of the most significant
replies I got in a folder off my PINE application and will be willing to
send you a copy if you wish of each saved reply to show you how I
presented the question and what I got in return.
I also monitored the major Solaris and Unix newsgroups also for many
months.

What makes you think the answer will come out of this any better than what
I did? I'd have to wait maybe months to a year for an answer, and maybe an
answer would never appear.
Knowing a few things about commercial computer/software support and
consulting, I will offer that I think I could anticipate that I would be
paying money first, and then getting poor answers rather than good
answers. The same thing happens with rare diseases and rare medical
conditions when they are presented to the medical industry (I have
personal experience).

Thank you for your response.

I know you didn't answer mine.
