Can anyone tell me (or point me to a how-to resource) how to restrict users to their home directory when they connect via ftp under AIX? A whole bunch of web searches have made it clear that it is done using chroot, but none of them explained how.

You can't do this with the ftpd supplied with AIX (I'm not sure about
5.3).

There a number of daemons which will do this, the most notable is
probably wu-ftpd.

Note that you have to apply several security patches to the source.
