Hi,

I'm just setting up a user account for remote access (via VNC) on a linux
box. Using this account, multiple users are be able to login on this machine
concurrently. Before logging in the user is chrooted to a certain directory
containing a minimum system.
Unfortunately, I can't provide a user account to each of those users. Now
I'm encountering the following problem:
As multiple users are working on this (chroot)-directory I'd like to assign
each user a subdirectory in which only he has got write-permissions
otherwise users would be able to delete files of other users.
The only solution I see so far would be to provide a limited number (say a
pool of 4) of user accounts and then assigning a free user account prior to
login.
Does anyone see a better solution to this?

Um.... Why can't you provide a user account for each?
