User account with Minimum Privileges on Fedora
Hi all,
I need to create a special linux user account that has a very limited set of permissions on the system. Essentially to have read-only permissions for his home dir (and sub dirs) and nothing else - i.e. this user has no write or execute permissions and should not be able to read/access other user dirs or indeed anything outside of his home directory, irrespective of rwx permissions. Thanks, |
well you can't prevent them reading anything outside of a home directory otherwise they can't use the system commands etc - they'd have no way to do the few things you want them to be able to do. And if they are not executing anything, why do they need a shell login, is this not more of an ftp / http access that's needed?
I guess you probably want to look at a chroot jail, but not of their home directory, as they still own that, so you'd actually want them no have no home directory, but instead be dumped somewhere else, with the tools they are allowed to use to do whatever they can do symlinked into that mini environment with chroot, so there is nowhere else to go. |
