Chroot help please

[DanBish]

I need to stop my users from browsing my directory structure, so I want to restrict them to a specific directory. I understand chroot is the way to go, but I haven't found any real life examples of how to do this that "regular people" can understand.

I know I need a user, lets call him "Dan".
I know he needs to be in a group, lets call it "DansGroup".
His directory can be "/usr/local/web/docs/release/jail/dan".

That's pretty much all I know.
Can anyone dumb down the basic instructions for me (ant the other cowards who are afraid to ask)?

Dan

If your users are coming in from different sites, you could try ssh chrootgroups... Check out my article at
