Question need to restrict users access to own home directory

Hello,

I'm running FC6 (zod) & RH EL AS 4.x and am trying to find out the best way to restrict users to their own home directories (ssh)

I'd greatly appreciate any ideas or tips.

The way to do this goes with chroot. Chroot is a programm that changes the root directory.

Google for "sshd chroot" should give some good options to choose from. Its a bit of work but not that much.
