    Jailkit is a set of utilities to limit user accounts to specific files
    using chroot() and or specific commands. Setting up a chroot shell, a
    shell limited to some specific command, or a daemon inside a chroot jail
    is a lot easier using these utilities.

    Jailkit has been in use for a while on CVS servers (in a chroot and
    limited to cvs), sftp/scp servers (both in a chroot and limited to
    sftp/scp as well as not in a chroot but only limited to sftp/scp), and
    also on general servers with accounts where the shell accounts are in a
    chroot.
