yes pablouruguay is right<br />
<br />
the Defaultroot is the important thing - it will put the user into his own home directory<br />
the next thing you have to do is to set the right permissions for the user<br />
<br />
i think there is not much else you have to do<br />

Hi,<br />
I'm running RHEL v3 U4 on a server.<br />
I need to create a user account and restrict to a certain directory for telnet/ftp access. So i've created a directory &nbsp; '/com/ftp/client'<br />
<br />
What I want to do is create a userid that when telnetting or ftp'ing in, has that 'Client' directory as their home directory and has full access from that point on (i.e. create directories, delete directories, etc..) <br />
but cannot browse elsewhere on the system (i.e. /root , / , /etc....)<br />
<br />
I'm new to linux and going through the hellish learning curve now, but getting somewhat of a feel for it.....<br />
Instructions via command line OR Gnome gui would work...<br />
<br />
thanks for your help,<br />

Creating user and restricting access

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.
