Hi All,

I am a very, very basic user of Linux. I am just about feeling my way
around so please keep all answers very simple. I have a Redhat (8.0)
Linux box that is on my home network (networked to some Win2k machines).
I want to give someone at work access to my Linux box so that he can do
a little programming work for me.

However, I want to make sure that he stays within the "sandbox" I build
for him. I don't want him "prying around" on my home network or on any
other machines. On the Linux box, I would like to restrict him to just a
particular directory where he has the tools and files he needs to work.
I suspect this is largely a user set up issue?

Secondly, and most impotantly, I want to ensure that he is unable to
copy any files from machine (using ftp or the like), and that he is
unable to print any documents resident on my machine, which are
displayed on his terminal. I am working on some intellectual property
research stuff and I don't want it all out before it's completed.

The question is that can I do all this using (free) VnC, or shall I use
the (expensive) Exceed?. Any pointers on how to setup any one of these,
willbe very much appreciated. Bearing in mind that my main concern is:

1). remote acess to specific directories, files and applications
2). Inability to transfer files on to his local machine
3). Inability to print out document on a local printer (I suppose if
he's insistent, he could use screen prints ;-))

Look forward to your ideas.

Ciao
