I think, you have to write a very little C-program, and make it his login
shell.  In that program, chdir to some restricted directory, chroot to
there, and exec his real shell.  Of course, as there isn't a setuid script
under FBSD, yes, you cannot do it from a shell script, as login exec'd the
shell as the real uid of just-logged-in-user; so you cannot make it with a
shell script with chroot.
