Yep, set the users login shell to be /bin/false. If they attempt to log into a shell, it'll dump them straight back at a login prompt HTH -- Chris ---------------------------------- E Mail: chris@glovercc.clara.co.uk SIP: 84411389@voiptalk.org IAXTEL: 17003366726 On Thu, 23 Sep 2004, Paul wrote:
Hi Folks
After discussing a small problem about ssh and cvs with Brett last night, it was suggested I post the problem here...
I am attempting to set up a cvs server behind a firewall using ssh for security. The port forwarding works and has been tested from the outside, as does cvs access. At the moment, I have set up a usr account for each person requiring write access to the cvs repository.. However, I do not want to allow remote users to have shell access on the cvs server. Is there a simple way I can disable shell accounts for selected users and still have ssh & cvs working with some degree of security ?
Regards, Paul.
