I am going to build a server that will allow many users FTP (no shell) 
access to their home www directories. I've recently switched to freeBSD 
from Linux. I was going to use suEXEC but reading this list I've seen 
mention of jail on freeBSD.

It's easy in freeBSD to keep the FTP users in their directory, I mean 
easier than Linux anyway, so that parts handled. But, if I want to give 
these users some power, i.e., cgi, SSI, .htaccess, etc.,  I'm going to 
have to do my security homework.

So...which way should I go first, jail or suEXEC or what? both?

Assume the "quality" of the FTP users are potentially very evil.
