I've incidentally set up ssh just that way on my Drake box I discovered sshd
was not installed (oh really!), but entirely coincidently I had an unpacked
Sarge filesystem there complete with sshd installed.
I chrooted into it and started ssh.
You can acutally use any system this wayt - it's a little extravagant in its
use of disk space, but if you could countenance a minimal install of FC3 plus
ssh in it, it's pretty easy to set it up.
You could have the small system unpacked (or mounted) at
/websites
and the client sites in
/websites/home/
Conceivably you could make a compressed ISO using mkzftree and mkisofs and
loop-mount it on /websites then mount the client disk space on /websites/home
need I mention ISO file systems are read-only?
