jail.
Once you have "jailed" the user, they cannot navigate above that point in the filesystem.
SysAdmin Magazine runs articles such as this topic.

Unfortunately, the article is not available online.
Here is a link into the Linux Documentation project for jailing the BIND process:

Here is an article (google) for solaris:
