SSH for resellers

[toze_feup]

Hi!
Perhaps its a stupid question, but what must I do in order to get resellers do access the /home/userxx of its users.
The idea is to make possible each reseller access his user areas, to help solve problems out.
Is this already possible?
Because I tried to create a reseller and an user account, both with ssh activated, and no luck when acessing user directory.

Thx in Advance

You can't do it through DirectAdmin. To be honest, I'm not even sure it can be done with manual configuration...
It would go against security, such as the master ftp account that has access to all directories in /home

If you're asking about SSH or FTP, the answer is that it can't be done within the DirectAdmin security model. There are ways it could be done if you completely change the owner/group ownership model, but you'll have to do it with post-create scripting, and you'll have to modify directory attributes to automatically assign an arbitrary group name.

Not easy.

Much better the reseller uses the file-manager to check the user's directory structure; that he can do through DA.

Would sudo be able to handle it without the group mess, or is that only command limitations?

Edit: Nevermind. I can't find anything that would support that.

Sure you could set it up with sudo. The problem is you'll have to give your reseller sudo rights to so many commands you'd might as well make him root.
