HP-UX Secure Shell and chroot Environments
HP-UX Secure Shell Versions A.04.40.005, A.04.40.006 and A.04.40.007
support 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.
See the README file at /opt/ssh/README.hp for more information on
setting up the chroot functionality. The chroot setup script is
available at /opt/ssh/utils/ssh_chroot_setup.sh.
