[newbie] Prevent access to directories higher than user's home?

Is there anyway to create a user account for telnet that only has access to their home directory and nothing higher up than that and only be able to run certain programs?

These rules would have to be set at the time when the user account is created. Check the users permissions that currently exist with Linuxconf. -- Mark /* I never worry about the to-jams. * Once I've stuck my foot in my mouth * it's already too late...just make sure *
