hi thanks for the advice on rbash i got it to work but it is to restricted in their home directories users should have full rw access as far as i tried rbash (bash -r) that is not possible (i can not even do a mkdir) i am doing something wrong or is this the goal of rbash (bash -r)?? is there any other way of giving users access to their home directory and shutting down anything else (even if read-only)?? thanks a lot for your help /olaf -------------------------------------------- Olaf Stein Research Scholar OSU Medical Center Department of Radiology Division of Imaging Research phone: 614-293-9983 cell: 614-589-9229 _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
