Hi,

|| Im trying to figure out how to restrict users from leaving their home
|| directories.
|| I would enter the new directory /usr/home/developer and issue the
|| chroot command ->
|| hivemind# chroot /usr/home/developer
|| chroot: /bin/csh: No such file or directory

It's because a chrooted directory is like the root dir of your system !
You have to create 'bin' 'etc' and stuff into /usr/home/developer.
You should also copy csh into /usr/home/developer/bin.

Your chrooted system will be completely independent of your system.
This means if the user developer logs on, he won't be able to access the
real /etc for example.

I hope I'm clear enough.

www.google.com for more info .. just type in "freebsd chroot".

|| What am I doing wrong??
|| Also when this is set, how do I make it persist throught reboots.
|| Make my own script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d ???
|| Thanks for any insight you may provide....

Just create a shell script and run it instead of running tcsh or sh or ...
run 'vipw' and change it.

Cya
