You mean Plash right? ;) 

Caveat: Plash uses chroot jails rather than apparmor (which allows much
greater flexibility) and does not yet deny network access, although
using iptables to filter from specific uids mightn't be such a bad way
to go. Mark, have you thought about using this approach for networking?
