- you could use bash -r (restricted bash)
- or chroot(8), on google i found the following article:
  http://www.tjw.org/chroot-login-HOWTO/ this how to is for linux
  but it should work on freebsd to.
- if you just want to restrict access to other users home
  dir's, creating a group per user and chmod 750 the users home
  dir should be sufficient. 

hth,
