Well, pretty much any decent FTP daemon will automatically chroot a user
to their home dir...

One in particular I recommend is ProFTPd, from http://www.proftpd.net.
It is capable of automatically chrooting users to their home dir,
without having to have library files there. Also the config file is much
like Apache's, so if you're familiar with that you'll get along just
fine with ProFTPd. :)
