Hi Ben,

I sort of did this for an ssh (& thus, sftp) server a few months ago.

These pages were helpful:
http://mail.incredimail.com/howto/openssh/
http://ulf.zeitform.de/sshchroot/

Back then, I got the impression that this was something of a black art.
These kinds of patches had been rejected for the main OpenSSH development
tree, and I'm not sure if any ever made it in.

Anyway, I can send you my notes if you like.

Matthew
