chrooted SSH daemons ( without messy file/dir structure )

Hi All

My first post in here. The forums seems like a great idea !

Surely someone else has come accros this problem:

Chrooted ssh, i have patched openssh with a chroot patch from sourceforge.net

It works and all, but it requires the creation of dirs and files like /bin/bash in the users chroot area.

However, I have noticed that some hosts ( phpwebhosting.com for example ) manage to do the same chroot without all the messy directories etc.

Does anyone know how this can be acheived ?

I have been googlin high and low and cant find this.

For me its really a major requirement, although the user cannot edit / harm the chroot enviroment I would rather they didnt even see it !

It opens up some great possibilities such shell and sftp access, but without the chroot I just could not bear to have people wandering around my file systems chrooted SSH daemons ( without messy file/dir structure )

Thanks in advance for any interesting replies

Neil
