I've been asked to set it up so people who use sftp to connect can't browse the system folders and the home dirs. I'm thinking about setting up a chroot jail, would this be the most correct way to do this? Is this something that could be done by correctly changing the permissions on the system?

Package: rssh Description: Restricted shell allowing only scp, sftp, cvs, rsync and/or rdist rssh is a restricted shell, used as a login shell, that allows users to perform only scp, sftp, cvs, rdist, and/or rsync operations. It can also optionally chroot user logins into a restricted jail.
