Yeah, it's going to be a patch/hack until chroot is native to openssh which might never happen. rssh and scponly are the two to look at (I use rssh). If sftp is not a requirement, you should really look into ftp/tls aka ftps. You can use vsftpd and it natively does chroot and even virtual users. A simple config change to do tls and you get certificate-based security. Also, nearly every Windows & Mac gui ftp client supports ftps for free or in their "basic" version (some clients require "pro" versions to get sftp capability). johnn
