Re: Restricting access to home directory

2006-09-25 Thread Matt Juszczak

Well...

If there was an easy way to restrict users to their home directories using 
SCP or SCPONLY, I would love that instead.


I don't really feel like installing an FTP server just so users can 
connect to my server when they are already used to using sftp-server.


Is there anyway?

Short answer: NO and that's OK for a protocol based on ssh.
Your users can pass the bounderies of their homedirectories if they're
logged in too, can they not?
And ssh is nothing more than kind of a remote login; a bit more secure
than rlogin was (is)

Correct, but you can still use it into a chroot.

Hi all,

I have seen scponlyc, which supposedly can do this, but can't seem to

I have also read up on protftpd + ssl, and configuring it to lock users 
into their home directories.


What would all of you recommend as a viable secure solution to this?


First of all, scp (scponly) is not a FTP service. Nevertheless both 
options are just fine. Proftpd is able to jail users inside their dirs.


Settings required in proftpd.conf:

DefaultRoot ~ [group]

where ~ are their specified homedirs and group is optional (members of 
that group will be jailed to their homedirs, others will be able to 
browse everywhere, if group is not used, everybody using proftpd will be 
jailed).

and what do you mean can't seem to get it working ?

with scponly you also have a chroot-option, if your user is the only
scponly user, then the top-dir in the chroot-scponly setup could be his
home-dir (disclaimer, i've successfully used scponly, but only read
documentation about chroot-scponly, not used that yet)
