I'm try to make the ssh jail shell of paralels cloud server better.

Install

• Create /home in jail
• Save all files to /home
• Make .profile and .bashrc executable (chmod a+x ...)
• Create symlink for profile: ln -s /home/.profile /.profile
• Logout
• Login

Features

• Fancy bash prompt
• Fake home directory for all config files (manipulates $HOME)
• Default vim configuration
• .bash_aliases for user defined aliases
• ~/bin/ folder for user defined scripts/binaries in $PATH
• ~/html/ symlink to /httpdocs/

More ideas? Feel free to make a pull request!
