💖 smd-restricted-shell(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for smd-restricted-shell, section 1 of the Sync Mail Dir (smd) docs. it's short. it's iconic. it's giving "tiny tool, huge security vibes". let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

smd-restricted-shell — the restricted shell for smd. no cap, that's literally the whole name.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

command="smd-restricted-shell" ssh-rsa ...

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this utility is meant to be used in conjunction with an ssh key. yes queen, ssh keys. 💅

here's the tea: when someone logs in to your remote host using one particular ssh key, you can restrict which commands are allowed to actually get executed. locked down. curated. main character only. 👑

all you gotta do is take the line that corresponds to that ssh key and prefix it with:

command="smd-restricted-shell"

that's it. that's the whole move. slay. ✨
