User restrictions - How?

_venturax_ · Posted: Mon Dec 09, 2002 8:27 am Post subject: User restrictions - How?

I would like to know:
How do I set restrictions for a user. I dont want them to be able to exit their home catalog. So if "userA" is in his /home/userA catalog and opens a shell, in which he writes: cd ..

i want to deny this. How can this be done?

I have looked for a detailed explanation, but somehow I have missed this?

Thanx in advance.

Sounds like 'jail' to me. Do a search in this forum for 'jail', which is a chroot-ed environment for each user...
