Using a restricted shell (rbash) to "jail" a user to their $HOME

I came across this problem a few minutes ago. Here's the scenario: You want to give a user access to your system, but don't want them running amock and doing "things." What to do? Give them a restricted shell!

Ports Required:

• shells/bash

Build Instructions:

• Just build bash with no special arguments and you'll be fine.

Configuration Stuff

• su to root
• cd /usr/local/bin
• Create a new file called "rbash" with the following 2 lines:
  #!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/bash -r
• chmod 700 rbash
• echo /usr/local/bin/rbash >> /etc/shells
• Change the user's shell to /usr/local/bin/rbash and you're done.
