Title: Allowing per-user SSH / SFTP access
Post by: ki11er on July 19, 2005, 02:09:48 AM

I have noticed that when using SSH, only root and admin users are allowed to login using SSH.

How do I change this so that any user can login using SSH, but is restricted to their home folders and iBays where they have read/write permissions?

Thanks

By default, only two user names can be used to login remotely to the server: admin (to access the server console) and root (to use the Linux shell). Regular users are not permitted to login to the server itself.

You need to manually change the user's shell in /etc/passwd.
Set user to ...:/bin/bash

There is a free contrib at dungog.net site that adds a server manager panel & will make this configuration easier for you.
