[lugm.org] SSH Tunneling vs VPN

[Yuv Joodhisty]

I prefer SSH Tunneling also and it is easier to configure than a VPN.

But i have some question though. Let's say you have a small server and
other users need to access it via ssh tunneling. Is there any way to create
a very limited user on linux for this purpose? A user who cannot do any
root commands, sudo su, etc.., or even cannot do anything at all. I don;t
know much about user administration on linux.

Thanks
Yuv
