HP-UX Secure Shell and chroot environments
HP-UX Secure Shell version A.05.90 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 access
for all its users 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.
For more information on setting up thechroot functionality, see README file at /opt/ssh/
README.hp. The chroot setup script is available at /opt/ssh/utils/
ssh_chroot_setup.sh.
