Is it possible to disabled certain features to make cygwin secure over ssh such that the logged in user cannot:
- cd into any /cygdrive drives - mount any local or UNC drives
but still:
- access a system wide mount to a local drive
You will gain little additional security by doing this. As long as you can't prevent user from calling normal win32 applications (such as as cmd.exe) and win32 APIs (like CreateFile ()) he will be able to accesss any drives on your system you're supposing to prevent him from.
Your only gain will be false sense of security.
The way to achieve real security is to set proper access rights for all files on all filesystems on your host and all other hosts this user can log into.
