If you give them shell access to put up web pages, worrying about their

up web pages.  Why not let them ftp to their web page directories, but
restrict their home directories (if they have one)?

How about this: we dont give users shell access to our web servers, however,
in order for their pages to be served, user home directories are NFS mounted
to the web server from a machine where they do have shell access.
