How to set user's root directory in SSH?

nyy · 08-24-2004, 02:41 AM

I created the user for ssh access.
I want this user to only be accessed to his/her home directory.

I did set /etc/passwd like:

ftp_user:x:111:111::/home/user/public_html/./:/bin/bash

But no luck.

Any advise?

Thanks,

you'll want to use a chroot jail to only let them see their own directory. check the manpage and howto's for chroot.
