Hi,

I believe you can use "chroot" to box/jail in a user inside his home directory. The required commands, packages, etc would have to be installed within this dir. Check out this URL and see if it helps :: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot

Hi

Have been trying to create a new user on Ubuntu , however am wanting to restrict permissions to the new user to just be able to access their section of the home directory and also not be able to mount none home partitions.

The default permissions all seem to allow the new user access to the entire computer and various partitions. . Even the advanced options available at Administration - User and Groups does not seem to be able to specify restricted access.

I would like said new user to only be able to access their own home and not anything else

would appreciate help on how to do this

thanks
