I just released rssh version 2.2.3 to fix the problem detailed below. I haven't had time to update my website yet, and my Internet acess is quite limited these days (hence the terse announcement), so I probably won't get to that for a while. However, rssh 2.2.3 is available from the sourceforge.net site: http://sourceforge.net/projects/rssh All users of rssh should update to the

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

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

Since rsync 3.0 i've detected a problem with rssh and -e option....rssh doesn't allow this option...but is essential to me (cyphered transmission with ssh). Surfing the net i've seen a guy that made a patch but I don't know how reliable is...and rssh former programer says he just left the project so it's no longer his problem. Is this stuff going to be updated in rsync or is

rssh is a small shell whose purpose is to restrict users to using scp or sftp, and also provides the facilities to place users in a chroot jail. It can also be used to lock users out of a system completely. William F. McCaw identified a minor security flaw in rssh when used with chroot jails. There is a bug in rssh 2.0 - 2.1.x which allows a user to gather information outside of a chrooted jail

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

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

Package: logcheck-database Version: 1.3.13 Severity: wishlist Hi, scponly-full (using 4.8-4.1) in Debian is compiled with additional support for rsync, unison and SVN. However, the logcheck rule is based on the original version and doesn't include those commands in the regexp. Please add those three commands to the regexp. Best regards, Markus -- System Information: Debian Release:

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

Hello, I'm new to the list, but hopefully I've done enough digging around that I don't get yelled at too terribly ;) We're looking to implement a chrooted environment for allowing users to scp files from servers. That's basically the only functionality that we need in this case. We're looking to chroot the user and/or remove any chance that the account can login via

Hello, This patch makes it possible to restrict sftp sessions to a certain subtree of the file system on a per-Unix account basis. It requires a program such as rssh or scponly to function. A patch for rssh is also attached to this email. The method employed uses realpath() and a string comparison to check that each file or directory access is allowed. With this patch, sftp-server takes a

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm pleased to announce that rssh now has per-user configurations! Today I released rssh v2.1.0 with that last peice of functionality to be added, bringing active development of rssh to a close. Additionally, I spent several hours testing and debugging this release as thoroughly as I could think to, and I'm pleased to report (tongue in cheek)

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I released rssh v2.0.4 today. It fixes bugs in the parser which affect quoted arguments in the config file, as well as the code which builds the vector for the arguments to the exec call. In the latter case, arguments which contain a space were treated as two sepearate args. The man page was also updated to include information about quoting values

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi folks, Today I released rssh 1.0.4. rssh is a small replacement shell that provides the ability for system administrators to give specific users access to a given system via scp or sftp only.

Hello List, Do I get it right that I *MUST* chroot a user first and make /bin/rssh his shell in the /etc/passwd to effectively restrict him? There should be no /bin/ksh (or bash) in his jail? If I do not jail him - no matter what is his passwd shell - he will be able to issue "ssh user at server /bin/sh" still, right? -- Best regards, Anthony mailto:rz1a at

Hello, I know this chroot issue has been brought up many times before on this list. I saw that the contribibuted chroot-patch was removed from the contrib directory because it always was out of date. The main reason was of course was that sftp-server has to be run as root to be able to do the chroot() call? Most of you are against chroot (since it isnt in the src) but I believe a lot of users
