This sounds pretty close to what I want. I don't want the user to be able to get a shell on the box but do want to allow them to run a small subset of useful commands over ssh such as 'ls' and of course scp files to and from it. Another alternative is WebDAV. Run it over HTTPS for security, and use the standard Apache authn/authz controls to give each user access to only their own area. In principle your users can mount their WebDAV areas as networked filesystems on their desktops. In practice, this works fine with MacOS X, is horribly buggy under Windows, needs quite a lot of effort to make work on Linux, and I don't think it's actually available at all on FreeBSD. However, commandline clients like cadaver will work fine on anything Unixy. I've had problems with exactly this before on linux. I only need to allow linux, FreeBSD and Solaris users access to this resource so will persevere with something SSH based I think.

chroot scp only network storage?
I want to provide some users with secure network attached storage over SCP. The intent is to provide people with a similar thing to, e.g. rsync.net but inside of our network only. Security is obviously a priority so I would like each user to be chrooted into their allocated directory and allow them only to execute a small set of commands. I have come across scponly before. Is this the best way of achieving this with FreeBSD or is there some other better way? Thanks in advance, Matt. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
