Hi

What's the best method of ristricting a shell under FreeBSD or any other
UNIX? 
I know of a solution for ftp that limits the root (a dot in the
pathname of the users directory) and I tried something for Linux using a
chroot to change the root of the user but then the user can't FTP anymore
and I don't like security holes and I'm not sure it's safe because your
using uid 0 for that user in this case!

Thanx a lot!
