I have a question concerning SSH op a FreeBSD 7.4-STABLE server.

Is it possible to limit the SSH access?
I want t o restrict a user to his own home directory.
So that if he connects to the server with SSH he only can go to his own home dir.
Also the same for sftp...


I believe you will need to install a version of OpenSSH from ports to
get that functionality. It's the CHROOT config option in
security/openssh-portable
