give a look (in the ports) at :

1) wuftp for leave any ftp user in his directory 
2) rksh shell for telnet:

       A shell is restricted if the  -r  option  is  used  or  if
       either  the basename of the name the shell is invoked with   
       or the SHELL parameter match the pattern *r*sh (e.g., rsh,
       rksh, rpdksh, etc.).  The following restrictions come into
       effect after the shell  processes  any  profile  and  $ENV
       files:
         o    the cd command is disabled
         o    the SHELL, ENV and PATH parameters can't be changed
         o    command names can't be specified with  absolute  or
              relative paths
         o    the -p option of the command built-in can't be used
         o    redirections that create files can't be used (i.e.,
              >, >|, >>, <>)
