The point is that I am missing the knowledge needed in order to add
path control.
That is, controlling which path(s) a user can access.

UnixSSHRealm is a realm which returns SSH avatars that, like OpenSSH, can run arbitrary shell commands as the given UNIX user.

The way you control which paths a user can access in this scenario is by setting the filesystem permissions on those directories. Sorry, but Twisted cannot magically change your UNIX filesystem so that arbitrary commands see a different view of it.

If you want to write an SSH application server that does *not* allow running UNIX commands, you are going to have to write a lot more code; in effect, emulating a shell (or denying access to one entirely, as described in http://cyli.livejournal.com/38382.html )

it appears to be undocumented

This code could definitely be better documented, but I don't think your question is related to subsystems. In order to see why, it would be helpful for you to understand http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4254.txt section 6.5, "starting a shell or command", first. (A subsystem is just a kind of command you can run.)
