However, as long as you can ssh the server, you can use the following ssh tunnel to use Nomachine – securely and fast: From a ssh client, do: ssh -L <port>:localhost:4000 -N -f <username>@<nomachine_server> From your nomachine client, […]

Scponly cannot chroot

Scponly from CentOS 7 cannot chroot. Problem is that /sbin/scponlyc does not have corrent SUID. Do a chmod 4755 /sbin/scponlyc resolves it.
