The keyword is "chroot" or "jail". It means to ban a user into his home and limit commands to those inside the chroot. This sounds simple but it is not. There are a few howtos available (do a google search), but they can let experienced users escape from chroot. For a real solution it needs the use of kernel patches and ACLs like grsecurity or - which comes with FC2 - SELinux.
