Hi

How can I limit the user directory access for only paths under his user
directory /home/user/.....
I dont want the user to access any directory above /home/user/.

Thanks

Thanks for your reply.
That is true. How about if I want to limit the user to access a few
specified directories?

Whats  normally done in 'secure FTP' environments os to either make 
copies of the programs that are needed, or just possibly symlink or 
hardlink from his directory to the programs you will allow access to. I 
can't remember - been a long time.
