Not to put a damper on your advice, but 'chroot' won't help without a fair bit
of preparation.

With chroot, each user will require a clone of the root filesystem (/, parts of
/etc, /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /usr/local, etc.). Without these, you
lock users out of the system completely, rather than just locking them into
their home directory.
