There may well be some precanned way to do this, and if so, use that, else create a perl or shell script (if shell, don't forget to trap interrupts) that does a chroot, cd $HOME, set appropriate PATH, put only what you want these user to have (this will take a bit of tinkering) and run that as these users shell in the /etc/password file (last field). e-mail if you need more detail or run into problems. > > > | Canadore College | Phone: 705 474-7600 X6439 > Darren Renaud | Of Applied Arts | fax: 705 472-7169 > | And Technology | WWW: http://www.canadorec.on.ca > Professor | |e-mail: > Information | P.O.
