If you don't have a spare server, could you share/mount it back to yourself read-only and chroot the user account to that mount point. You need to make sure that they can't escape out again though without logging off. You might get away with exec chroot /read-only-fs in their normal .profile, but you'd need to test it. I haven't done this, it's just a theory.


I hope that this helps,

Sounds like a good idea. Remind me - if I share/mount it back to the other server (as RO) does it give me read permission to every file?
