SSH Access

[louie55]

What will the user actually have access to if I enable them SSH access?? What will they be able to change and mess with and what will they be denied to do. I am just wondering this because I am thinking of advertising that they can get SSH access if they request it, but I'm not sure if I want to do that or not until I know the details. Also, what are your thoughts on allowing SSH access? Thanks.

Without the SSH jail :
A user will have access to all dirs/files that are set to read access for all users.
A user will be able to execute everything that can be executed by all users.

Basicly it means an educated Linux user can see almost everything if you don't chmod everything a bit different...

With the SSH jail (beta thingy) :
A user will be dropped in a 'virtual' console environment, which means he/she can't do very much, but this IS a safer solution.
There is supposed to be floating a thread around here somewhere about the jail thingy...
