Yes. I have compiled and set up "chrsh" with success on a shell box I administer. http://www.aarongifford.com/computers/chrsh.html Beware for a false sense of security, though. The shell is probably not the only means of traveling through the filesystem; if you run a shared webserver or allow people to use scripts somewhere (in procmail for example), you cannot guarantee this type of security. If you need help in setting up a convenient jail environment for day-to-day use email me back. I would write something about this, if it weren't for my exams.... walter -- "There's a time when you have to give the customer trouble if that is what they are asking for.
