I've also been looking for a solution like this.  I'd like to be able to
chroot sftp and scp connections.

To date, I've only found the scponly shell, which can be chrooted, but
it's a
lot of hassle.  I don't like having to use the 'commercial' ssh for
this :-(

It's a bit 'hazy' to me as well.  Any pointers to documentation and
patches
would be very helpful.
