Topic: enable shell access

hi,

i have successfully installed and configured mysecureshell to run as sftp server and created a new user with an already existing home directory (dindn't copy files there) with virtual chroot mode - works great. then i would like to allow a (limited) shell access to that user. i set that group like in the config file described, but shell doesn't come up.

i think i would have to install or configure a shell like 'Shell           /bin/tcsh'

system debian etch

any hints very much appreciated!

Re: enable shell access

Hi,

Can you past your configuration file of MySecureShell ?

MySecureShell use "real informations" (mean system informations) about users.

Here a little sample:

Account: toto
Group: users, sftp

My sftp_config (usually in /etc/ssh) :

<User toto>
     Shell /bin/tcsh
</User>

Take care : shell is not restricted because it's not managed by MySecureShell sad
