Hi, || Im trying to figure out how to restrict users from leaving their home || directories. || I would enter the new directory /usr/home/developer and issue the || chroot command -> || hivemind# chroot /usr/home/developer || chroot: /bin/csh: No such file or directory It's because a chrooted directory is like the root dir of your system ! You have to create 'bin' 'etc' and stuff into /usr/home/developer. You should also copy csh into /usr/home/developer/bin. Your chrooted system will be completely independent of your system. This means if the user developer logs on, he won't be able to access the real /etc for example. I hope I'm clear enough. www.google.com for more info .. just type in "freebsd chroot". || What am I doing wrong?? || Also when this is set, how do I make it persist throught reboots. || Make my own script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d ??? || Thanks for any insight you may provide.... Just create a shell script and run it instead of running tcsh or sh or ... run 'vipw' and change it.
