You would need to call chroot() (man 2 chroot), but you would
	have to ensure they could still see all the binaries, libraries
	and devices to which they need access.

	A better option might just be to chmod various parts of the
	filesystem and ensure they are in a group which cannot access
	them.

                  with its credibility.  And vice versa.
