Have SSH chroot access mounted drive

blither · 08-22-2010, 11:51 AM

I have a chrooted account setup for my ssh server. However, I am trying to allow this user read only access to access on a mounted hard-drive and more specifically a specific folder from that mounted drive. Can anyone give me advice about this?

I would also like to have this drive be mounted for me in my normal environment with write access.

Thanks.

You could make that users login directory the directory you want them in, which is owned by you and all the files are read only for them. You could also make their login shell restricted by using rbash instead of bash. This will not allow them to change directory as well as a number of other restrictions. Both these can be modified in /etc/passwd

I think I found a hack to make it work together, unless someone can tell me if I can mount a hard-drive in two locations?

I think what ill do is mount the smb file share that is not shared to world just internal network then make that share available to those users.
