RE: [Jailkit-users] Creating Additional Jailed Users

[Russ Lavoie]

You can create a bash script.  But here is an easier way to do it other
than jk_copy.  This works great for me I created 20 jail users with a
bash script, but I had to run the script 20 times.  Better than typing
all the below though :)

Initialize the jail root

jk_init /var/ftp/$USER jk_lsh

Initialize commands to be allowed
jk_init /var/ftp/$USER sftp scp (scp and other commands are optional)

Create the user
Adduser $USER
Passwd $USER

Jail the user

jk_jailuser -m -j /var/ftp/$USER/ $USER (don't forget the ending slash

Edit the file /var/ftp/$USER/etc/jailkit/jk_lsh.ini to make it like
below.

[$USER]
paths= /usr/bin, /usr/lib/, /usr/libexec/
executables=/usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server

no of course the $USER is a variable for the user's name you are
creating.

Anyhow, that is how I did it.

Subject: [Jailkit-users] Creating Additional Jailed Users

I have setup my first jailed user and this works a treat.
To ensure they can't see each others home directory I need to setup  an
additional 50 jails, is there an easy way to do this?

I'm guessing you can't simply copy/paste and edit configs as this will
also copy access rights, do I need to manually run jk_init, jk_cp etc
etc for each user?
