scp w/o ssh

[Patrick Hustis]

I don't know about only scp, but I had a similar situation trying to limit 
what certain remote users were able to do.  I tried in vain to find a way 
to do a chroot'ed shell.  In the end I created a bin direcotory under the 
users directory, created links in the bin directory for the things the 
users needed to run and changed their path to include only the new ~/bin 
direcotry.

Perhaps not the most elegant situation, but the users that I was allowing 
to access weren't that technically savvy and it helped me get what I needed 
to get done in a short period of time.

Hope this helps.
