Hi Gurus,
 I was asked to setup users such that when they
telnet(down the road we will replace telnet with ssh)
and login. They should not be able to browse any
other directories other than home directories.And also
have limited access to commands.
Implementing restricted shell(usr/lib/rsh) is pretty
easy. But setting up chroot with telnet login is a bit
difficult.We need to run a setuid
script to run the chroot command when a user logs in.
 I read that having setuid programs is insecure. So
please suggest me which is more secure . rsh or
chroot.

Thank you
Sree.
