hi if you want to limit users capabilities use pam
the files in /etc/pam.d (in most distrib) are for the different
applications that use authentication services

add the optional chroot line in the apllications you want and
configure the usernames in the conf-file (e.g. /etc/security/chroot)

the users will then see the named directory there as their / dir.
and will be prevented from accessing anywhere else.
( see /usr/share/doc/.../pam and man chroot for details about all this.)
any problems ask again!

see you
