Prevent user snooping

I have a cobalt RaQ with redhat installed.

I'm wondering how to prevent users with shell access from snooping into other peoples virtual sites. Right now they can look at PHP source code etc. I don't want this to happen.

What can we do.

Eg:
user: kai is the administrator of URL
home dir: /home/sites/site30/users/kai
doc root: /home/sites/site30/web/

he can go stray into:
/home/sites/site31/web/
and view anything he/she likes.

How do you prevent this while still allowing files to be accessible on the web?

Kind Regards,

Kai.
