<nitpicking>First of all CD'ing from /hom/ted into /home would be cd'ing up, not down
;-) </nitpicking>
Anyway, look into what's called "jailing": when user is jailed, it appears to them as
though no other directories exist except their /home/them. if they do "pwd" they'll
see "/" instead of /home/ted, and if they do "cd /" they'll still be in /home/ted, it
just won't look like it.
I do it for all my FTP users, works great. You Might alss want to consider installing
Red Hat's anon-ftp package, that creates a whole nother directory structure with it's
own /bin /etc and so on, just for this sort of thing.
Hope that helps,
JW
