Hi,

I've been fighting with this for a while... I've managed to give a user his own filesystem and such... When a user ssh's into the box they are put directly into /var/chroot/home/user which is fine and im happy with that! BUT if the user types cd / they are not in THERE file system but the main file system! Does anyone know how to do this?! Thanks for anyone who can tell me!

This may be harder than you think; look here:

Yes,
I've tried that but can't seem to get the user to login. I managed to modify it a lot so the user is logged into there chrooted enviorment and I think it may work after I modfiy a few things.

You should check http://linux-vserver.org/

This can be done even on Shared Accounts. You just need a home made file manager than you can go to / and access any files you like.
