We have a requirement to allow ssh access to a server in order to provide a secure link to one of our legacy systems. I would like to chroot these accounts. I have this working except for one small detail, the user's prompt in the ssh session. Each user has their shell set to /bin/bash in /etc/passwd. However, instead of getting the prompt defined in their .bash_profiles we see this: -bash-4.1$ when we are expecting this: [username at hostname dir]$ So, before I go messing around moving files I would some information from you as tio what I have overlooked. Do I need to move something like etc/passwd and /etc/group into the chroot/etc? TIA -- *** e-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** Do NOT transmit sensitive data via e-Mail James B.
