Better Jailshell

[layer0]

cPanel handles jailshell a bit differently than DA's beta method. Basically, there is no need to copy over anything to the user's homedir. It seems quite secure even so. I would love to see something like this available in DA. Shell access is definitely not an uncommon request from clients these days.

Umm i think your mistaken. cPanels version of Jailshell is the worst implamtenion of Jail i have seen. Its not secure at all. Not sure where you got that idea from.

I would much rather copy everything into a users webspace and jail them there (DA's VERSION) then to allow people to freely view my server.

cPanel's setup is much more secure than providing full bash access, and thats what the goal is here, at least for me. DA's current beta method is undoubtedly better for security, but its not as convenient.

"Convenience" makes for sloppy coding and exploits - I'll settle for more secure, any day.
