The OpenSSH 4.9-5.x updates now include built in jailing. It is still a little confusing, so I have written an update to my former 4.x tutorial.
This tutorial shows how to set up a safe chroot for your users. It offers chroot only and will deny all SSH access. It should only take about thirty minutes from start to finish including package download times if you don't already have them.
This method is safer because it doesn't allow the users access to any commands such as a compiler or the perl interpreter.
You will not need to install any extensive libraries or copy hundreds of files for functional use.
The user will be 'jailed' to any directory you choose which will mean that they will see "/home/username/" as just "/" disabling them from seeing your entire server or others users files while still using SECURE FTP.
