just a point in the direction of: search forums or man page on chsh; the start dir can be set in the shell config files, for bash check its man page etc etc

As far as I remember, just edit the /etc/passwd file
Find the user you want and instead of /bin/false write /bin/bash, or whatever shell you prefer.

NO!  DO NOT EDIT THE PASSWD FILE MANUALLY!  There's no need to, and it's easy to screw it up.  Use the chsh command instead, as suggested by P Kidd (and a search here on chsh will pull up lots more information).

Alternativly, try my e-smith-usershellaccess contrib from:
   ftp://ftp.e-smith.org/pub/e-smith/contrib/DanielvanRaay/RPMS/noarch/

This will setup a server-manager panel where you can turn on shell access for user accounts.

As for their starting folder, you could always try:
  echo "cd /path/to/start/folder/" > ~useraccount/.bash_profile

There isn't really an easy way to stop users from going elsewhere in the file-tree though.
