userid access to a single path

Hi All,

Can a user-a on linux be able to access to particular path only? I think is not possible because if the /etc have r on the other then user-a can access it. Right?

Thanks for any comment you have will add.

Yes. It is called chroot jail- you make the users /home/user-a directory the root. That user cannot cd anywhere else.

google for chroot jail
