Actually you saying that is what gave me the hint: here's how I fixed
it.
# Set the user and group that the server normally runs at.
User nobody <- unchanged
Group netaccess <- customized
DefaultRoot /home/ netaccess,!users <- limits access to everyone
except those added to the
group: users
You can also use ~ to limit to their own directory. But I couldn't get
it to work, but I also didn't want that, limiting to /home/ is fine by
me.
Thanks for the hint that pointed me in the right direction.
