How to restrict ssh user to the home directory ?

Dear list,

I am running a remote suse server and need to give ssh access to the users who can work on their particular web folder only. The version of ssh server is openssh-5.0p1-21.1 

I have already did huge google search but could not find any sshd features which can allow ssh users
to restrict them in their home directory. I have found some documentations where chroot or jailkit is used to achieve this and
these need some more configuration and obviously "chown root:root <home-folder>" . But I need an option which simply restrict ssh users so that they can't browse beyond their home directory. 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 ?

Thanks
