Restricted shell

Hello

I have a user with a Restricted Shell on a Aix 5.3. My question is about if I can add one more path on the home directory.

I mean the user have in his home directory. for example /test/my_application/logs but I need that this user can view another log that is on another path, if this posible.


Thanks for your comments.
