But then I end up with a directory for that user with no rights at all.
This means that I can't really telnet to the server at all.

Acutally I get:
No directory /home/userfoo!
Logging in with home = "/".
bash: /home/userfoo/.bash_profile: Permission denied
[userfoo at server /]$

I simply want to lock a user in his homedir. Seems basic to me, but
actually this is the first time that I have to grant remote access to
the server.
