limit access

i would like to have limit to any access ssh telnet ftp

 

If you use ProFTPd as your FTP server, put

Code:

DefaultRoot ~

into /etc/proftpd.conf and restart ProFTPd. This will jail the users in their homedirs.

Regarding SSH, have a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/chrooted_ssh_howto_debian

 

chrooted ssh

hello

will that chrooted ssh for debian also work for fedora 5 also what about chrooted telnet sessions

 

Basically yes, though there might be some differences from the tutorial...

Why do you want to use telnet when you have SSH? telnet is insecure...

 

very limited

hello falko

the tutorials are excellent i used the fedora 5 setup and it works very well i am very inexperienced with the different dist. of linux so i dont really know what is the changes from a debian to a fedora installation for the chrooted ssh if that makes any sense

 

I'd just start, and if you get errors, search on Google or this forum, and if you don't find an answer, ask.
I think there was somebody else trying to do the same on FC5, he posted in this forum...
