Chroot in OpenSSH 62

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Wednesday February 20, 2008 @02:48PM from the making-life-easier-always-my-goal dept.

bsdphx writes "OpenSSH developers Damien Miller and Markus Friedl have recently added a nifty feature to make life easier for admins. Now you can easily lock an SSH session into a chroot directory, restrict them to a built-in sftp server and apply these settings per user. And it's dead simple to do. If you need to allow semi-trusted people on your computers, then you want this bad!"

Refreshingly, the article admits that there's more to outsourcing that cheap labor, contrasting IBM's calculated investments with Apple's rapid pull-out from Bangalore. Although the jury is still out on how sluggish multinationals can compete with vigorous tigers, it seems that IBM has a credible strategy for becoming the next great software company, and that outsourcing is only a part of the puzzle."

I think I saw someone mention it earlier, but taking a photo of the error has helped me get intermittent problems fixed before. Like the powerbook that would get a green tinge on the whole display, but only after it had been running for many hours. A photo of that got Apple to accept there was a real problem and try to fix it... of course, I had to ship it back to them 4 times over this issue, and then a fifth to ultimately return it when they replaced it with a new one... but without the photo, that one would likely still look like a classic green screen. :)
