Two quick questions from a Cobalt Newbie

1) Is there any way to provide SSH to site owners without allowing access to directories out side of their home directory?

2) What is the most popular package I need to install for MySQL and PHP setup?

In answer to number 1, check out rbash or any of the other restricted shells. Most of the common *nix shells have a "restricted" mode. In those modes, you can't cd outside your home directory, later you PATH environment variable etc.

2) You should be able to use the .pkgs available on pkgmaster.com
