ssh - restricted shell

Hello,

Does anybody know the best technique to accomplish this:

We have a server that we use for mostly internal development, and run an 
SSH server.

We have an outsider who we want to allow to ssh into this server and do 
some work.

However, because he is an outsider, we don't want him roaming around our 
server, moving, looking, doing, or anything outside of his own home 
directory.

How can I restrict him to his own home directory?

I thought I ran into instructions once for doing this, but I can't find 
anything right now.

Or was I thinking of scponly ?

That might do it, except we do need to set him up to to run some scripts 
within his home directory after he uploads stuff via scp.

Thanks,
DW
