Hi,

You could give the user a restricted shell:
/bin/rsh

You need to set up a user with restricted shell access. Once done they can only access their home directory. See below example.

# useradd -u -g -d /home/username -c "My Name" -s /usr/bin/rsh -m username

In addition you can see setting up access lists for additional file security.Applicable only in jfs.

see man setacl .
