Title: Allowing users to login via ssh remoely
Post by: Mike on April 16, 2003, 12:25:14 AM

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?

Mike

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