Need complete help with chroot.

Waerner · 09-25-2006, 03:40 PM

Hello, I've searched the web for a long time after a good tutorial for chroot without success - but please don't reply with any evil answers

Anyway, my problem:

I have a server. A web server. A few users have their own web spaces, and are able to upload/manage their directories via ftp. But I want them to log in via SSH as well - which they can. They can also browse my whole filesystem. Can someone please tell me how I can easily create a "virtual root" (chroot?) for them? I would really appreciate this.

Thanks,
Linus Waerner

Have you seen this:

And, since you asked, '...searched the web for a long time looking for a good tutorial...' is probably better, otherwise your english is faultless, better than most americans.
