Hi, Im fairly new to linux (redhat 8)(3weeks). Ive managed to get it installed, setup apache,wu-ftpd all via the console and Im loving it. I come from a strong M$ background but have not found a thing hard until now. I have added a normal user, what I would like to do is lock this user in their own home directory in home/<username>. And give them restricted use over ssh and ftp, how would I go about locking down my system so these normal users cant go looking around the server and starting up services. TIA.


ps: anyone good with setting up email....Im yet to look into this properly.
