Topic: Allowing users to login via ssh remoely

[Mike]

Hey there.

I have done some searches for this subject, but have so far come up with nothing.

Here is the situation: there are 5 users (excluding root, admin) of my Mitel box at home. When I am at college, I am able to ssh into the box using root access as I have enabled this option. What I would like to do is to enable standard users be able to connect to their home directories via ssh from outside too. For example, sometimes I forget a file that I need at college and as it is my box, I can scp into my server and pull the file down as I have root access. I would like to be able to do this with my own user account, 'mikelott', but without having to have root access to the system.

Er, did that make sense?

Do a search here on 'chsh', and don't restrict the dates.  That should answer your question.
