SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

The jail service module for PAM put users into a jail derived from their home directory. If a user's home directory as specified in the passwd structure returned by getpwnam(3) contains the string “/./”, the user is put into the jail having the portion of the directory name to the left of the string “/./” as its root, and the portion to the right will be the current working directory inside the jail. Otherwise, the directories specified by the dir and cwd options (see below) are used.
