people. <br>
<br>
I have an account that is kind of a service account (humans will not<br>
log into that account) but will be used for rsync via ssh. For<br>
security I would prefer that this account be locked down.<br>
<br>
I had set the shell of the user to /bin/false, but then ssh does not<br>
work. <br>
<br>
I am using a whitelist script I documented here:<br>

<br>
Now I am wondering if there is more I can do to lock down the account.<br>
Setting the shell to /bin/rbash is not helpful unless I lock down a<br>
bunch of other things. There is an rssh shell that I have read about,<br>
but I have not tried it yet. <br>
<br>
One thing I am considering is actually setting the shell for the user<br>
to my whitelist script, which is a python executable. Is this a<br>
promising idea or a terrible one?<br>
