Best I can do is suggest the use of group homes in /etc/adduser.conf. Of
course, if the users have already been added, this is a pain. Oh, you
could also use a restricted shell so they can't execute programs not in
the current path and so they can't alter the environment (like the path).
You have to be pretty good to set up an restricted shell environment that
the user can't break out of.
Good luck,
Brandon
