At that point, you may want to send them to Dreamhost or another webhost that allows users shell access. Or you can sign up for an account yourself and then create the shell accounts for your users. I think you will still be liable for any misconduct by your users, so YMMV. I think there are other proxy services that will allow shell access, but none come to mind at the moment. I tunnel my SSH through my DH account when traveling. Keep in mind that they do monitor shell activity. I had an issue once when I tunneled from Korea and they blocked me until I got my account whitelisted. But they are pretty reasonable once they are sure that you are not a robot. Marv xgermx wrote:
Stop me if you feel like this is thread-jacking but, what if you are hosting shells for people you don't know? How do you secure your box and each account?

If you're only going to be giving access to friends / family then absolutely sure. The next best thing in my opinion would be to rent a dedicated server or colo and manage the server yourself. -Jon _______________________________________________ Pauldotcom mailing list Pauldotcom at mail.pauldotcom.com <mailto:Pauldotcom at mail.pauldotcom.com> http://mail.pauldotcom.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pauldotcom Main Web Site: http://pauldotcom.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Pauldotcom mailing list Pauldotcom at mail.pauldotcom.com http://mail.pauldotcom.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pauldotcom Main Web Site: http://pauldotcom.com
