Set very strict directory permissions. You can set UGO (User Group Other) permissions on each directory. Use the command "chmod" to set permissions. Set all the directories you do not want to be accessed by that user to not be readable to Other. Make sure that the user is not part of a group which has access to other directories which you do not want him to access. Don't forget to make sure his home directory is owned by him otherwise you will lock him out of his own directory. Use the command "chown" to change an owner of a directory.
