With jails and a whole lotta trouble. It's a nice concept, but it's
also a whole lotta trouble. The trick of jails - and mind you, they
can be broken out of - is that they limit all to a directory.

What this means is that you can't, say, symlink to a /bin/ls binary
since the link can't be followed. And that's just *one* binary.

Another and way more simple way would be to give them a vewwy restrictive
shell. Maybe like mc(d) coupled with a jail() or some such thing.
