I would like users who use sftp to be restricted to their home directory
only.  Is there a way to do this without setting up a "jail" of sorts?  In
regular ftp, I know the file /etc/ftpchroot allows access control (as well
as in the actual ftp config file, for instance proftpd allows you to set
options to restrict users to their home directory only).

Thanks!
