I have a few questions about security.
I am running FreeBSD 5.3. I have created a few logons for friends who are running websites. The only thing they need to access is public_html in their home directory.
Is there anyway i can make them have very limited access, such as not allowing them to leave their home directory, no using gcc, perl, or running any kind of programs/scripts?
Also, in /usr/local/www/data/phpBB2 there is a config.php file which contains the mysql db root password, but others must be able to read it for the site to work. Is there anything i can do about this?... perhaps only allowing root to use mysql, or specified users... this goes back to restricting certain commands again.
Any help would be appreciated.. thanks.
