Jailkit - Quickly creates limited user accounts in a chroot jail

'Jailkit' is a set of utilities to allow quick creation of limited user accounts in a chroot jail. It contains a safe logging daemon, shells that can restrict users, utilities to start daemons in a chroot jail, and utilities for easy setup of chroot jails.
