Debian Configuration :: Restrict FTP Access To User's Home Directory Only
Jan 18, 20112 of us have been googling all morning trying to find out how we can restrict ftp logins to their own home directories only but nothing we've found so far has worked. We've tweaked sshd_config so that they default to their home directory but they are able to navigate up/across/down to everything. This is a "straight-out-of-the-box" debian 5.0.5 Netinst. Just a basic system with Apache/MySql/PHP/SSH and no desktop.

Jan 6, 2010Here'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?

Jan 6, 2010I have a secondary disk which holds a /home directory structure from a previous install of Linux. I installed a new version on a new primary drive and mounted this secondary drive as the new /home. Problem is, even though the users are the same names and I can access the home directories for the users, I cannot login directly to their home directories, as I get the following error: -
Code:
login as: [me]
[me]@[machine]'s password:
Last login: Wed Jan 6 18:34:33 2010 from [machine]
Could not chdir to home directory /home/[me]: Permission denied
[[me]@[machine] /]$
Now, since the usernames are correct and the users are in the passwd file with the correct home directory paths, could it be user ID's that are different or something else? It's not as though I cannot access the home directories for the users, simply that I cannot log directly into them from a login prompt.

Mar 8, 2010I'm developing an application in which one user must run java software that I'm compiling as another user. I wanted to give user A permission to see the bin direcory of my workspace, which is in the home directory of user B. I was wondering how can this be done? I gave the bin direcotry full read/execute premissions, but since it's in my home directory user A can't navigate to it.
I know there are a few ways I could get around the problem but they arn't very elegant. I was wondering if there is a simple method for giving a user access to a specific directory without giving access to all the parent directories. I tried symbolic link but user A still can't access it, and a hard link to a directory isn't allowed in Linux. I don't feel like making a hard link to every single file in the bin directory, and I'm not sure that would work anyways, since every recompile overwrites them.

Networking :: NFS User Home Directory?
Jan 16, 2011iam learning to setup a NFS server with fedora14. I have gone through couple of materials for this topic. I have a doubt. Say if i have user1 till user5 on my NFS server with their home directory under the /home and the /home directory is shared. If user1 logs into a client machine then will he be able to see home folders for the other users or just his own home folder. Because in the /etc/exports file there was an option saying "subtree" and according to my understanding this means that the subdirectories under /home will also be shared. Does that mean all the users should be able to see all other users home directory and its contents but not read/write?? Correct me if iam wrong.

Dec 15, 2010I'm trying to restrict a particular ssh user to his home directory, I'm just giving him access so that he can ssh to another server that is only accessible from the former but restrict his movement so that he can't poke around the former.I already made some changes to sshd_config file and added the following line at the end:
Did some test, user joe can ssh to the server but unable to do anything aside from logging in, even a simple ls command will immediately close the putty session. I know I'm still missing something but don't really know what it is.I also tried this how to that uses rssh --> http://www.adamhawkins.net/2009/05/r...ured/#more-431 however when I login the session immediately closes.
