There may well be some precanned way to do this, and if so, use that, else
create a perl or shell script (if shell, don't forget to trap interrupts)
that does a chroot, cd $HOME, set appropriate PATH, put only what you want
these user to have (this will take a bit of tinkering) and run that as these
users shell in the /etc/password file (last field). e-mail if you need more
detail or run into problems.
