Jailkit - Summary

This group is not part of the GNU Project.

Jailkit is a set of utilities to limit user accounts to specific files using chroot() and or specific commands. Setting up a chroot shell, a shell limited to some specific command, or a daemon inside a chroot jail is a lot easier using these utilities.

Jailkit is often used on CVS servers (in a chroot and limited to cvs), sftp/scp servers (both in a chroot and limited to sftp/scp as well as not in a chroot but only limited to sftp/scp), and also on general servers with accounts where the shell accounts are in a chroot. Jailkit is furthermore used to jail daemon processes, for example apache servers, bzflag servers, squid proxy servers, etc.
