Default limiting user?

I wish to add a user account for my friend on my Apache2 webserver
(running in Debian).

How can I limit how much disk space he can use and limit how much bandwidth?

Also I would like it so he cannot explore the filesystem and is
limited to his $HOME directory only.

I think you can find many tutorials on-line.

You have to use the system-quota and, php open_basedir directive and some
chroot options, it's very simple.

quota system, independent on apache. However it can be avoided when he'll be
able to upload files using apache (cgi or php or whatever) under apache user

I think mod_bandwidth does that.
