[lugm.org] SSH Tunneling vs VPN

[Keshwarsingh Nadan]

Contradictory statements.. PermitTTY is a much cleaner solution, but it throws a connection error ?  Do you realize updates/upgrades will screw up enhancement added to your conf file?

Go with a jailkit, it will save you the pain.

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.
