Locking users into their home dir on FC4 shell accounts
I have FC4 installed and running on my system, and need to set user permissions to lock users out of the root dir more specifically I want to keep them from cd .. back past their home dir and can't find anything on it, can someone please point me in the right direction or lend a helping hand with a command to do so?
Thanks
Olds

You want to chroot users to their home. There's howtos available.

where would I find these "How to's", I have checked google and the man pages, but either I am not searching correctly or its not there. The man pages come back with nothing found and google gives everything but what I am looking for.

Yes I run SSH and want to keep everyone but myself (the root user) from cd .. back past their home dir, a friend of mine told me I need to set user permissions and I had it set at one time but then had to reload FC4 and don't remember how I did it so I can reset it and lock users into their /home/user dir (user being the user name)

This is a feature that most virtual hosting companies use when they give you SSH access. Search for "jail shell" it seems to be a popular one.
