I don't know about only scp, but I had a similar situation trying to limit what certain remote users were able to do. I tried in vain to find a way to do a chroot'ed shell. In the end I created a bin direcotory under the users directory, created links in the bin directory for the things the users needed to run and changed their path to include only the new ~/bin direcotry. Perhaps not the most elegant situation, but the users that I was allowing to access weren't that technically savvy and it helped me get what I needed to get done in a short period of time. Hope this helps. Patrick At 01:01 PM 04/12/2002 -0700, you wrote: >moin, moin, > >is there a way to reliably allow only scp? > >Also, what about a very restricted shell?
