Configuring User Profiles

[gman789]

How do I setup a user account so that at login he is given access to one specific directory and can only read the files in that directory. In other words he should not be able to navigate to other directories.

In the user's .profile write (or call) a menu script. Don't let the user 'break out' by trapping at least signals 2 & 3. Ensure the .profile has an 'exit' at the end.

I hope that helps to get you started. Please feel free to post further questions.

I've never tried it, but you could set the user up with his shell as rksh.
I believe this restricts the user form using the cd command.

Hope this helps.

I want to be good, is that not enough?

Thank you so much. I used the rksh and got it to work.
