and so on.

There is also a lndir command if it's that what you want.
But from the naming I assume the you want to create a chrooted ftp home
dir. Since the caveat: you cannot point to symlinked dirs from within a 
chrooted environment.

You have to give them a chrooted shell. I don't know of a standard way to do
this. You would have to write a binary that chroot(2)s and does a chdir() and
execs a new shell.

Note that you have to give this user all the shared libs and binaries
he needs.

Cannot comment on this. What I have heard Apache is superb and supports/is
supported by FreeBSD.
