For a user on a Linux host, I need to make everything inaccessible besides his home directory.
I have heard that this is usually done by changing the root directory for the user (and setting it to the user's home directory), however I couldn't find the way to do it.
I thought about the chroot
command, but it seems it just runs the specified command, considering the specified directory as the root directory. So it seems chroot
is not what i need.
So my question is: what is the command which changes the user's root directory?

It sounds like you want to change the HOME dir, not the root dir. Root will always be / or /root.
