You can maybe try giving them a restricted shell. If it doesn't
exist, make "rbash" a symlink to bash, and then give the user "rbash"
as a shell. Then use ".profile" to set an initial PATH. They won't
be able to change their PATH nor cd to a different directory.

There are probably loopholes in the restrictions, but it may do well
enough for your needs.
