This is a thread almost a year old. Please don't hijack it, even if your subject is similar. I spent a LOT of time helping newbie14 with his problems. Read the thread, and check with Google Search. So, post as a new thread after you have done some research and tried to sort out your problems, then someone will probably help you through the rougher parts. FWIW, I do this on a consulting basis, and my clients pay me $200USD per hour for my expertise, and in my regular job as a senior systems engineer I make a good fraction of that on a daily basis. Time and my expertise/experience is my only asset. I like to contribute to this and The Linux Forums (also under the Rubberman handle), but try to understand that everyone who contributes to answering questions here has limited time on their hands - use it wisely! :-)

Well, members of the restricted group should be able to navigate the restricted directory, and read files that have group read permissions on them. So, what precisely is going on? As root, create a file in /home/restricted with some text. Make the file's group "restricted", and make sure that the group permissions include +r (read access).

Dear Rubberman,
Ok I did this now. The problem when I do a remote connection I can not even go into the folder of /home/restricted. If you notice the user1 is not part of restricted group can that be a problem?

[root@localhost restricted]# vi test1.txt
[root@localhost restricted]# ls -la
total 16
drwxr-x--- 2 root restricted 4096 Nov  9 15:03 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root       4096 May 11 19:58 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root          9 Nov  9 15:03 test1.txt

Yes. User1 has to be a member of the restricted group in order to access the directory, which is why you need to use the groupadd command to add that user to the group.

Dear Rubberman,
I have run this command many times useradd -g restricted user1
useradd: user user1 exists. So which command must I use usermod -a -G restricted user1?

Use groupadd instead.

Also, do you know if you have SELinux extensions enabled w/ ACL's (Access Control Lists), or not?

newbie14 0 Posting Pro · Answer 7 · 2011-11-09T13:31:38+00:00

Dear Rubberman,
I tried this groupadd -g restricted user1
and got this message groupadd: invalid group ID 'restricted'. I am not too sure about SE Linux ACL I never handle that before so what to check in there?

rubberman 1,355 Nearly a Posting Virtuoso Featured Poster · Answer 8 · 2011-11-09T13:35:57+00:00

To add the restricted group, just use the command: groupadd restricted
To add user1 to group restricted, do this: usermod -G restricted user1

newbie14 0 Posting Pro · Answer 9 · 2011-11-09T13:48:15+00:00

Dear Rubberman,
I have try this command few times and reboot my machine usermod -G restricted user1 but still if you notice user1 group is user1 not restricted.

ls -la

Dear Rubberman,
It looks ok now as I can go into the restricted folder ready for user1. But why under the group it shows user1 and not resctricted?

rubberman 1,355 Nearly a Posting Virtuoso Featured Poster · Answer 11 · 2011-11-09T20:54:52+00:00

As user1, execute the command "groups" to see what groups the user is a member of.

newbie14 0 Posting Pro · Answer 12 · 2011-11-09T21:04:41+00:00

Dear Rubberman,
Below is what I did. But when I do a ls -la for home the group for user1 is still user1? So via root can we know user group.

[user1@localhost home]$ groups
restricted
[user1@localhost home]$ ls -la
total 36
drwxr-xr-x  7 root  root       4096 Nov  9 15:56 .

rubberman 1,355 Nearly a Posting Virtuoso Featured Poster · Answer 13 · 2011-11-09T21:08:05+00:00

Well, there shouldn't be a problem then. I don't know why your system is keeping user1 out of the directory. Can they CD to it and list the contents?

newbie14 0 Posting Pro · Answer 14 · 2011-11-09T21:13:54+00:00

Dear Rubberman,
By right when I do ls -la the user1 group should be restricted right? Yes I can cd and view the file but cant change it so is correct.

rubberman 1,355 Nearly a Posting Virtuoso Featured Poster · Answer 15 · 2011-11-09T21:18:48+00:00

If you want to allow members of the restricted group to edit (but not delete) specific files, then then owner (or root) can change the group file permissions with the g+w option to chmod on the file: chmod g+w filename

In order for a member of the restricted group to delete or create a file, then the containing directory must have the write permission set as well as read+execute.

newbie14 0 Posting Pro · Answer 16 · 2011-11-09T21:21:20+00:00

Dear Rubberman,
Now my challenge is how can I make sure if the user1 logged into the system he can only be in restricted folder and cannot cd to any other folders? I want to lock him just here?

rubberman 1,355 Nearly a Posting Virtuoso Featured Poster · Answer 17 · 2011-11-09T21:30:22+00:00

Kind of a "view only in one directory" user? You can use the usermod command to change their login directory to /home/restricted and learn how to use chroot so that when they login, all they can see of the system is that directory

Anyway, that's about all the time I have for helping you with this topic. I think you are more than 1/2 of the way to where you want to get, but you need to do more reading/studying of Linux user administration to accomplish what you need. There are a lot of online documents, FAQ's, and How-To's that will help. Remember, Google is your friend! Also, the Wikipedia.

newbie14 0 Posting Pro · Answer 18 · 2011-11-09T21:54:14+00:00

Dear Rubberman,
Ok I actually read and collected some material. Some are talking about doing the chroot via openssh and some talking about pam. I am kind of confuse and lost here too. I have actually find a number of site like below.If you look some say need to upgrade openssh to version 5 etc. So what is the recommended method cause too many avaialable on google.
