What is a Reverse SSH server please?

This sounds complicated. A drawing would say more than 1000 words!

I cant see what "unpriviledged users" should do on a WRT54G - I assume you 
created some user accounts?

Up to my current understanding of the situation (which is quite small..) I 
would give the advice to let the "unpriviledged users" ssh sessions end on a 
"big" linux box (with a complete linux distribution) and give the users a shell 
in a chroot environment. Then you have complete control what the users can do 
and which files they can see. You will find a lot of stuff about chroot 
environments in the internet - google is your friend. Example:
