I m new with Fedora 14, and i have a basic business case :
I want to setup a user which should
- only connect to the server with SSH (ex.: no X11 connection).
- cannot change its shell
- cannot do any SU / SUDO command
This user is very similar to a SERVICE user, as I expect him only to run a single program (its shell).
I would like to allow a user to login through SSH but with different permission coming from different ipaddress.
For example, a user "tester" login to SSH through 192.168.1.1 and another user login with the same login id "tester" but from different ip 192.168.1.2.
How do I restrict 192.168.1.2 to only allow for viewing the content in the home directory while giving 192.168.1.1 full access?
Here's the beginning of the issue: I'm running Fedora 12 with httpd and sshd. I want to create a user with a scponly shell for sftp access, but this user should ONLY be able to view /the/http/base/dir and its subdirectories. The user should not be able to see or get into directories above the httpd base. Someone mentioned creating a chroot jail for sshd and binding the httpd base to that dir, but this seems like more work than is necessary for the application I wish. Also mentioned was creating a user, say user1 with a selinux user setting of staff_r. I have read the articles and creating a user of staff_r isn't overly difficult, but how would I make it where staff_r would be restricted to where I want them to be? If I'm not mistaken, that would require changing the context of /the/httpd/base/dir?

If it's just for read only ajail would be fine.but how do I change shell based on IP?Approach 2) to have two ssh instances. Let's say port 22 and port 24. Port 22 isfor read only, while port 24 is for full accessso how can it be possible to give port 22 only read only access to SSH

1) i can block the user in ftp configuration file
2) i can block the user in PAM or /etc/host.deny
i heard that if pam is denying the user and ftp is allowing the user the user can get the access it means that ftp conf file is stronger than host.deny

View 8 Replies View RelatedI am running RHEL release 4 (Nahant Update 6). I currently have a fax server that has been encountering issues recently after hours. My boss would like our helpdesk to monitor the status of these modems throughout their shift. This has led to a request for a helpdesk account to be created on our linux box that only has access to a few commands. Is there a way to limit the new user to only have access to the following commands?
cd
less
cat
Additionally I would like to create a script for them to run that would chmod our modems when necessary since their permissions reset after a power cycle. BUT not give them access to the chmod command, just chmod through that script for those specific devices.

View 3 Replies View RelatedModule xselinux appeared in new versions of XServer theoretically allows to use SELinux in order to improve security. First of all I'm interested in examples of the use of this module (configuration files and what functions it perform). Also interesting to know whether some user's actions with XServer can be restricted via xselinux module (e.g. screenshot prohibition).
View 11 Replies View RelatedI am currently in a project to set up an LTSP server with 10 thin clients. I am using Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic).
Installing server and booting clients are working fine. Now, according to the need, I have to restrict user session numbers and allow resuming previous user session.
I have achieved to do the first one, but still could not able to setup the second one. As per requirement, if some thin can have power failure, the same session should be restored back. I am confused here, if I need to focus on saving xsessions or saving gnome sessions. I am looking for a concrete solution as I am running out of time.
I've looked around and haven't been able to really understand how to do this yet.How can I set up a SSH user to access a single folder (and it's subfolders) on my system.I want to give my brother access to a folder under /media/Data/FilesBut I don't want him to access any other part of my system.I've set up a user (using useradd and gave him a password but no home directory).I want to have him use SSH to log in to my machine, start in the /media/Data/Files directory, and not be able to get out of that directory - but add/change/delete/etc any of the files.

We just installed Ubuntu latest version (10.04), and what we are willing to do, is restrict the main computer user (none-administrator) to be only able to use web browser (Mozilla Firefox or some other) and that is it. Not allowed to do anything else, apart from this, and shutting down the station. How and where should we apply this type of limitation on a user?
