chroot and FreeBDD jail(8) comes to mind here, although they will then have little to list in the jail unless you mount the folders of interest.

Perhaps you could write a script that prompts for the directory and does ls for them then set this as their .profile:

Code:
#!/bin/sh
trap "" 1 2 3 15
while true
do
   printf "\nEnter directory to list (\"exit\" when done): "
   read dir
   [ "$dir" = "exit" ] && exit
   ls -l "${dir}" | more
done

xcursorgen

XCURSORGEN(1)						      General Commands Manual						     XCURSORGEN(1)

NAME

       xcursorgen - create an X cursor file from a collection of PNG images

SYNOPSIS

       xcursorgen [ -V ] [ --version ] [ -? ] [ --help ] [ -p dir ] [ --prefix dir ] [ config-file [ output-file ] ]

DESCRIPTION

       Xcursorgen  reads the config-file to find the list of cursor images along with their hotspot and nominal size information.  Xcursorgen con-
       verts all of the images to Xcursor format and writes them to the output-file.

       Each line in the config file is of the form:
       <size> <xhot> <yhot> <filename> <ms-delay>

       Multiple images with the same <size> are used to create animated cursors, the <ms-delay> value on each line indicates how long  each  image
       should be displayed before switching to the next.  <ms-delay> can be elided for static cursors.

       If  config-file	is not specified, or is specified as "-", standard input is used for the configuration file.  If output-file is not speci-
       fied, or is specified as "-", standard output is used for the output file.

OPTIONS

       -V, --version
	       Display the version number and exit.

       -?, --help
	       Display the usage message and exit.

       -p dir, --prefix dir
	       Find cursor images in the directory specified by dir.   If not specified, the current directory is used.
