I use ssh on admin side on the server, but for user end how does it work ,, can they reboot and get into area outside there account ?
 
They can't reboot or access any files outside their account.

However, I don't grant SSH access to anyone. This may lead to serious security issue.
 
Actually anyone with shell access can see any file on the server that's marked world-readable.

Which are a lot of files besides the ones in that user's account.

Personally I would not recommend allowing access except for special cases (if that even) or unless you have a properly jailed system so that users can not go outside their home directories using ssh.
 
From other threads I thought that DA and jails (FreeBSD specifically) did not get along or is it that it is not automated but you can setup jails manually?
 
DirectAdmin does not jail the system by default, but it can be done manually. There was a thread on this awhile ago (Why DA didn't), and if I recall correctly it was because they didn't have enough live servers testing it, however I think the script is still availabe for download.
 
I'm using it on live, works beautifully, no one said anything after my last posts for months.
