is there a way to deny a registered user access to anything but his own
homedirectory?

it would be nice if it was the same as with anonymous access.. ie. users
who cwd to "/" , 
really enters the virtual ftp root instead of the real system root.

is this possible to do with _none anonymous_ users? 

for example:

in a normal setup, when user foo ftps to the system, the initial directory
will be
his homedirectory. when (for some reason) he cwd to "/" he will enter the
real system root.
can you limit him to only access his own stuff, ie. a cwd to / will bring
him to /home/fred.

any suggestions appreciated!
