Restricted Shell Centos

kamran.ayub · 06-05-2014, 08:52 AM

Dear All,

I want my users to use restricted shell with allowing specific commands to users as per their role.
I am following
http://www.server-world.info/en/note...ntOS_6&p=rbash

Now I have about 30 users on every machine for which I want to do this task. Can anybody please guide me that too much number of softlinks creation involved in this activity is suitable ?

Or please can anyone suggest a good alternative way to handle this requirement.

Regards,
Kamran Ayub

do everything you need to do for the first user, then take the history of that whole process and turn it into a script to be run on the other machines.

Dear szboardstretcher,

Sorry if I am not able to make you understand my concern. My concern is to find that if 30 users have to use ping command so I have to make 30 times softlink with /bin/ping to /home/user/bin/ping. If centos will allow me to create 30 softlinks with a single target file.

Thanks

Regards,

centos will allow you to do that.

No, your concern was fully understood, but it appears you didn't understand the answer. You can easily create that many symlinks to a single file, so as advised, script the process based on your initial setup of one user.
