[lugm.org] SSH Tunneling vs VPN

[Loganaden Velvindron]

Dear Yuv,
Please set a User/Match rule in sshd for this user and disable PTY allocation using:   
   -    

PermitTTY 0.
No TTY allocation doesn't allow a user to run a shell. He can only tunnel :)

 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

I prefer to do tunneling via ssh that to fiddle with anything vpn, though i don't do these for users. Mostly for private use.

Hey guys, what do you think about SSH Tunneling, a.k.a Poor Techie's VPN vs VPN. Anyone here got experience in using any of these want to share some thoughts?
