You really need ~/.bashrc ~/.bash_profile and other ~/.* files from their 
home directory if you want their home directory to be /home/project/www

I'm not sure, I would suggest keeping it under /home, just because its a 
standard.

What do they need shell access for? can't you script something up so 
telnet/ssh to a menu?
Also, perhaps chrooting ftp to /home/projects/www would be a good idea?

If they do need shell access, try putting "cd /home/projects/www" into 
their .bash_profile, that should take them to the directory on login.

Cheers,
