I don't really feell it is possible... It goes a little bit outside
the perimeter of sshd here. You should look more on the system side, a
tool such as SELinux may be able to enforce this kind of possible.

(i don't think it is possible but i'm far from being 100% here, if
somebody disagree with me, please do write it :) )

It is also not possible to do "chown root:root <home-folder>" as the folders which are used as home directory are actually web folder under apache htdocs having apache permission.  I don't need sftp but ssh access. Is it really impossible to have this feature through ssh technology ?
