Thanks to all the SunManagers who responded so quickly! You guys are awesome! Anyway, here's a quick summary (my original message is quoted below): Most people suggested using rksh. One or two people mentioned /usr/lib/rsh which is functionally very similary to rksh. Both will keep user Foo in the /export/home/Foo directory, but will not allow the user to create new directories or go into the directories under /export/home/Foo...... I got a suggection to use ACls. I'm looking at my books and man pages now to se how I can set this up to my satisfaction... The solution of using rksh is what I'm going to use for now until I figure out how to ustilise ACLs effectively. Thanks again to those who helped out so quickly! -=Wes=- > I have a user which I want to keep under a particular directory...
