Hi,

I am wondering how to restrict out SFTP users, when
connecting to the SSH server, to their own home
directories only. The users can cd/mkdir in their home
directory (where SFTP puts them), but they should not
be able to jump outside (say, cd /home, cd /etc). Is
it possible, and if yes, how?

We are using OpenSSH 3.6 with Solaris 2.6.

The www.ssh.com's MS Windows SSH server has this
feature using a parameter called "sftp-DirList" in the
sshd config file. For UNIX, I could not find a similar
feature in the man pages of OpenSSH.

Anyone can help?

I posted to the openssh mailing list, but did not get
a certain answer. Someone suggested to use RSSH.

Does anyone have RSSH experience? Is it working for
directory restriction purpose? I wish to get more
info. The manual does not mention clearly.

Thank you very much in advance!

John
