Ok. If all you care about is the users home dir you can ignore sshd
and set the users home dir; as in useradd -other_option -h /some/dir.
Use ACLs for file level acces conttole and set the users shell to
none. Not as good as a chariot jail but some what acceptable and easy
to inplament.
Wish I could provide detail but I am on my blackberry rite now.
