Home Directory Jail for Users

Hi,

I am looking for a shell script (or any other way), that puts a user in a home directory jail. So for example, I have a user named richard and I don't want him wandering outside /usr/users/richard. I don't want him to cd to anywhere including cd ..

Somebody said you can do that with chroot, but I looked it up on the man pages and it says it is used to change the root directory.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
.Michael
