Are you trying to create a hosting account for this new user? If so, it will be easy to create new accounts using the virtualmin module. You need to install this module in webmin, and during virtual server creation, you can specify an IP for the account too.

You need to use Jail shell access in order to get your above requirement accomplished. You can check following link which will shed some light on Jail shell creation. http://itss.it/wiki/tiki-index.php?p...Shell%20Access

You would need to setup chrooted jailshell or you can try "restricted shell" with bash (bash -r) You will get custom jailshell script here

chsh -s /usr/local/cpanel/bin/jailshell username

The easiest setup of chroot jail for ssh/sftp that I've read is here: http://www.minstrel.org.uk/papers/sftp/ I used his custom method and it works great.
