One of my resellers is requesting SSH access for all of his clients seeing he has developers as clients who need SSH access.

My question is what problems would arise from giving SSH out to so many users? Would I have any security issues? I know it's a jailed account so they won't be able to view any other files but could they still cause issues? Is it something I will have to monitor closely?

Please give me advice on giving out SSH.


Thank you

ssh accounts are not jailed.

Anyone using ssh will be able to see any publicly readable on the file, and that's quite a bit of files.

Whether you consider it a security risk or not is up to you. We hardly ever give out shell access.
