Are there any utilities or add-ons for OS2 to secure the local FS like you're able to do on a *nix server? How can I restrict a user from accessing directories on a local drive?

You did not mention what version of os2 nor if it was server or client. But, you could use 386hpfs to solve your problem. If you are running with WSFeB you need the 386 HPFS Upgrade CD (CD6H0NA) from IBM. Start to install the 386hpfs and then the "Local Security" feature and you got what you're looking for. Local Security allows you to restrict access by local users (users working at the server itself) to files on the server and on HPFS volumes.

You have to read http://en.ecomstation.ru/openssh/

And on the bottem is as download ...
The author like to get some testers for his product...

Security/2 Alpha

Here is a Security/2 package that provides a user-based security for remote and (in future) for local users. It means that you can restrict users to create, read, write, delete certain files, execute certain processes, kill only this user processes.

* Updated 11.02.2003 - Security/2 alpha 0.0.7 (~350 Kb)


With kind regards,

Henk
