NAME

       jk_jailuser - a utility to put an existing user in a jail

SYNOPSIS

       jk_jailuser [OPTIONS] <username> [more usernames]

       jk_jailuser --jail=/path/to/jail <username>

DESCRIPTION

       The  jk_jailuser  utility  will change the shell of an existing user <username> to jk_chrootsh and change
       the home directory to <jail>/./<previous-home-directory>, and it will add the user to  <jail>/etc/passwd.
       On  *BSD  systems  this  is  <jail>/etc/master.passwd and pwd_mkdb is used to generate the other password
       files.

       The jk_jailuser utility will abort if the <jail>/etc/passwd file is missing, or if the shell  is  missing
       in the jail.

       If  <previous-home-directory>  was  already  inside  the  jail,  a /./ separator is placed on the correct
       location in the path. If the previous home directory was not in the jail, it is changed.  In  interactive
       mode  you are asked if you want to move the contents. In non-interactive mode the contents are only moved
       if the --move option is specified.

OPTIONS

       -j --jail=jail
              The jail directory to use. This jail should exist, and should have at least <jail>/etc/passwd

       -v --verbose
              Will give verbose output

       -h --help
              The help screen

       -m --move
              Move the contents of the home directory inside the jail. If in interactive mode, jk_jailuser  will
              ask  if the directory should be moved if that is necessary. In non-interactive mode this option is
              disabled by default.

       -n --noninteractive
              No user interaction.

       -s --shell=shell
              The shell to use inside the jail. Defaults to /usr/sbin/jk_lsh
