+# This script is primarily designed to create a chroot jail to be used by an SSH user.
+# My primary use case for this script is that I have a bastion server that I want users
+# to be able to use for port forwarding to access a database behind a firewall.
+# I want these users to have as little permissions as possible.  This script has been tested
+# on Ubuntu 22.02
+
+
+# Define a directory for our jail and a user.
+JAIL_DIRECTORY=/BASTIONJAIL
+JAIL_USER=bastionuser

+# Create the necessary directories.
+sudo mkdir -p $JAIL_DIRECTORY/{etc,bin,lib64,lib/x86_64-linux-gnu,dev/urandom,dev/tty}
