Chapter 25
HP-UX Secure Shell and chroot environments
HP-UX Secure Shell Versions A.04.30.006 and A.04.30.007 supports
chroot functionality for the ssh, sftp, and scp commands. The chroot
functionality is mainly used as an added security measure.
When you enable chroot, you can start an application in a specified
directory and enable all its users access to that directory and the
directories below it. It prevents users from using the cd command to
access directories at a higher level. Use this functionality to enable
restricted file and directory access to users of a particular application.
This is not an end-user feature. The system administrator must enable
the chroot functionality for an application. All users of that application
will automatically be subject to the restrictions imposed by chroot.
Refer to the README file at /opt/ssh/README.hp for more information on
setting up the chroot functionality. From HP-UX Secure Shell Versions
A.04.30.004 and A.04.30.005 onwards, the chroot setup script is
available at /opt/ssh/utils/ssh_chroot_setup.sh.
