Is there a way to allow users to 'cd' within their home directory when
using a restricted shell such as rsh or rksh?

Thanks.

Instead of rsh or rksh, use chroot.

Yeah, one heck of a lot of fun on some platforms. Eg Solaris is a real
beast for creating a useful user chroot environment. You really need
to keep things like /devices and /etc all visible as cloning is hard
(one cute gotcha is the syslog flock on /etc/syslog.pid).
