Somehow 'chroot' does not seem like what you want, but I won't presume.

All,
I'm going blank on this one, all help appreciated. I want to create
a Linux user who cannot see the top level directories, i.e. what they
see as '/' is actually further down the chain. Can anyone remind me how?

You may be thinking of the chroot() system call which applies to 
processes rather than users. Its often used to keep things (like FTP 
servers for example) in a 'jail'.

The answer is "chroot" and it only took me an hour to find it...
