Hello All
I want to set up a rsync user on my server, but I would like to make it
as limited as possible.
I read some info about how to allow a user to only use sftp, but I am
unsure if this would be the same for rsync
for sftp
Add user as usually and assign him a password. Then run the following
command (replace the 'username' with real user name):
root@host # usermod -s /usr/lib/sftp-server username
This changes user's shell to sftp-server.
The last step for this to work is to add '/usr/lib/sftp-server' to
/etc/shells to make it a valid shell, eg. like this:
root@host # echo '/usr/lib/stfp-server' >> /etc/shells
There. Now you've setup a user who can only access your server with SFTP.
Now how would I do this for rsync / ssh ?
Also is there any way possible to make the files that are uploaded not
removable / writable by this user?
I know they must be available for read access for rsync to do its diffs
/ checksums.
