[comp.sys.sgi] /bin/rbin question

cadwell@sumax.seattleu.edu (James A. Cadwell) (06/29/91)

I am trying to set up a restricted user account, thus far using /bin/rsh
as the user's default shell. Question is, what controls which programs
are restricted? i.e. ls is, but mkdir is not. This is using the standard
"out of the box" PATH--no /usr/rbin in PATH. (I looked, but could not
find this info in the manuals; pointers would be appreciated.)

Also, is there a better way then using /bin/rsh? Have found, but not
yet tried using chroot() as expositioned in [Thomas and Farrow _UNIX
_Administration_Guide_For_System_V_ Prentice Hall, 1989].

System be: SGI 4D25G, IRIX 3.3.1

Thanks all,
Jim Cadwell
