Only OpenSSH alternative I use sometimes is http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/security/ssh2-nox11/../ssh2/pkg-descr security/ssh2-nox11 Not about throttling but about chrooting: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Tue, 20 Aug 2002 08:35:46 +0930 To: Philip Paeps <phi...@paeps.cx> From: Wincent Colaiuta <wincentcolai...@mac.com> El Thursday, 15 August, 2002, a las 11:13 PM, Philip Paeps escribió: > I'm in the process of setting up a form of fileserver, and I'd like for > my > users to be able to work only in their home directories, not anywhere > else.

Use ssh2 from the ports collection: cd /usr/ports/security/ssh2 && make install In /usr/local/etc/ssh2/sshd2_config set the ChRootGroups and ChRootUsers directives to chroot the group(s) and/or user(s) that are to have ChRooted access. Turn off the default ssh (OpenSSH) by setting in /etc/rc.conf: sshd_enable="NO" Start the new ssh: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sshd.sh start When you create the user's account, make sure the shell is set to /bin/nologin or something similar. With this setup, they can sftp in and are chroot to the home dir, and they can't get a shell when they connect via ssh. In my opinion, OpenSSH should have this feature. We are told not to use ftp because of clear-text passwords, so we have to use ssh/sftp, but when we do that we can no longer chroot people to their home dirs! And if we're not careful, we end up giving them a login shell. Using ssh2 from the ports gets around this limitation, but just check the licence before you install to make sure that you qualify (otherwise it's not free).
