Great article! It would have been nice to detail though how to get SSH configured into a root jail, in case you want to give somebody else access to your mac remotely to drop some files securely let's say. The jail setup would ensure they can only see the content of their home directory and not your whole system! Maybe for next article? ;)

  Hi !
  
  Thank you very much for your kind words, I really do appreciate it!
  
  The fourth part of this series is, as you can imagine, already completed. However, I always welcome your suggestions and will be sure to look into the issue should I publish about SSH again in the future :-)
  
  Meanwhile, you can have a look into the O'Reilly book I suggested, "SSH the secure shell".
  
  Thanks again!

  I would second this question - we would love to be able to allow users to SSH into the server and permit
  
  1) a limited set of commands (gzip, tar, etc)
  2) no access to any other user's documents
  
  Is this something that can be covered in an email, if not in the article? Are there any definitive resources for this on the web?
  
  Thanks for any pointers you can provide!
