SSH supports an awful lot of possible restrictions. To do it
per-user, though, you usually have to do make them log in with
SSH keys, and place restrictions on the keys.

For example, you could set
	AuthorizedKeysFile /etc/ssh/authkeys/%u

to require the authorized keys to be in that directory, and
named for the user in question. Don't give them write privs.
Handle the key installation yourself, and add restrictions like:

from="trusted-host.one, home-machine",no-agent-forwarding,\
no-port-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding ssh-rsa AAAAB3Nza..

man authorized_keys is your friend.

You can't defend freedom by getting rid of it.
