Hi, my goal: sftp/scp only access, without the need for linux users. I want to provide 10 sftp/scp directories to 10 people. Let's call this "virtual account" I don't want to create linux users for each of them. I would like to create one linux user (backup_user). In his home-directory will be 10 directories. For each "virtual account" one directory. Every

I worked on a proposal like this a few years back (including proof of concept code).? I taught sftp to have an scp personality (closer to scp2 than scp), and it was rejected by the higher ups.? It may have been the dual-personality issue, but I know the scp2 concept was also rejected at the time as it was stated there should be one transfer tool. But the only way to drag scp into this century

Hi! I do not know if it's the ideal place, but I'm sending some suggestion. Always use openssh and its enormous features. - I needed to create an environment with only sftp access and thus used: - Match User suporte ForceCommand / usr / lib / openssh / sftp-server OK! It worked perfectly! But only sftp. - Create an environment with only blocking the ssh, but scp and

Hi, As per the subject line - if I look up setting up chroot jails for SFTP over SSH2 I'm led to various Web sites and patches and also to a CentOS wiki page dated 2005, but what's the 'best' or 'correct' way to set this up for Centos 4.5 and 5? Thanks

Hi, On CentOS 7 I?m trying to set up a chrooted SFTP server on which specific users can only read and write on specific folder. And I?d like to disable some commands, so the users can only do ?cd?, ?ls?, ?get? and ?put? (and disabling ?chgrp?, ?chmod?, ?chown?, ?df? etc ?). Is there a way to achieve it, natively or with using a third-party software ? Alexandre MALDEME Analyste d'exploitation

Hi Damien, Thank you. I read the rationale. Just to summarize, a user writeable chroot target is considered dangerous if: 1) the user has another way of gaining non-chrooted access to the system 2) is able to create hardlinks to setuid-binaries outside of the chroot tree 3) there are bugs somewhere that allow privilige escalation or remote execution of other programs While all these

PIZZACODE SECURITY ALERT program: rssh risk: low[*] problem: string format vulnerability in log.c details: rssh is a restricted shell for use with OpenSSH, allowing only scp and/or sftp. For example, if you have a server which you only want to allow users to copy files off of via scp, without providing shell access, you can use rssh to do that. Additioanlly, running rsync, rdist, and cvs are

Hello, I am trying to setup a file server using the SFTP protocol with OpenSSH. I am in trouble because sshd refuses to chroot to a directory that is writable by users other than the owner. I guess that this is to prevent someone else from creating a .ssh/authorized_keys file and impersonate the user. But we have configured an alternative AuthorizedKeysFile. I also understand that a chroot user

I am supporting a site that allows members to upload release files. I have inherited this site which was previously existing. The goal is to allow members to file transfer to and from their project area for release distribution but not to allow general shell access and not to allow access to other parts of the system. Currently rsync and old scp has been restricted using a restricted shell

Note: I am digest subscriber so if you could copy me directly on any reply to the list I would appreciate it very much. I sent this to the OpenSSH list (secureshell at securityfocus.com) yesterday and received no response so I am asking here in hopes that someone else has run across this problem on CentOS. We have encountered a situation that requires sftp access to one of our server by an

Hi, We have a CLI that certain users get dropped into when they log in. One of the things they can go is generate certificates (actually .p12 key/certificate bundles) that they will then scp out of the box from another host. Problem is that if their default shell isn't sh, ash, dash, bash, zsh, etc. then things break. Is there a workaround to allow scp/sftp to continue to work even for

Hello everyone, If I have three computers (Host-A, Host-B and Host-C) .... is it possible to execute Rsync from Host-A and use the rsync daemon via SSH on Host-B as the source and the rsync daemon via SSH on host-C as the destination?

Hi, Is anyone chrooting users that connect through SSH? I looked for it on Google and I basically saw several methods: - OpenSSH 5 supports ChrootDirectory (FC9 apparently has RPMs that probably could be rebuilt under CentOS 5) - There seem to be several patches for OpenSSH 4.x to do the chroot, the most popular seems to be http://chrootssh.sf.net/ - There appears to be a pam_chroot - There are

Please consider adding the following features to sshd: 1. AlwaysDenyLogin - a setting that will result in always denying login regardless of the credentials given by the client. 2. LoginDelayTime - to specify a delay in milliseconds before the server responds to a client's login attempt. These would help to employ brute force bots. Regards

Hi, OpenSSH is under free license compactible with GPL. But can i include source of sftp-server in my project under GPL ? Or ? Thanks.

I installed Rails and Rubygems on a web server for a customer who wants to install a Ruby on Rails application that he developped. He needs SSH access to interact with Ruby, so I''ll have to grant him access, but I want him to only play around in his /home directory, as this server also hosts other customers. How could I do that? Thanks, -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
