limiting a ftp users access to directories above home

Hello all,

I am setting up an ftp server for a number of remote users(different clients
actually), and want to limit their access to their $HOME directory and
below. I have done this in the past using different UNIX systems. I
believe the command was setroot or somesuch. Using this command your ftp
users would log into their home directory, but it was displayed to them as
'/'. There was no way for them to even determine their actual directory
path.

I haven't seen anything like this in my Sun Docs. I admit that it was quite
some time ago when I might be forgetting some pertinent detail in how this
was implemented, but would appreciate any help you might have for me.
Thanks all
