Hopefully a security conscious guru will correct me if I'm wrong, but.... As I understand it, all you really need to do is create a shell account. The user will only be able to see their own folder (and any others with o+r access). They will not be able to access some devices unless you add them to the appropriate group.
I'm not sure a chroot jail would really make sense in your case. But, it couldn't really hurt any, and might add to the sysadmin experience/skills you mentioned...
