I did this five or six years ago. I don't remember the details, but I 
can tell you it is possible to do. I seem to remember that I somehow set 
the chrootpath to /home/<user-directory> for each user. This made that 
directory the root for that user when the sign on so there is no way for 
them to cd in /home. Thus they can't see the other users' directories.

The advantage of doing it this way is that it is far less resource 
intensive than setting up a virtual machine for each user as they sign on.
