[ale] chrooting a ssh login...

[Christopher Fowler]

If I remember correctly, you shoudl place an option in
/etc/passwd that will tell ssh to do a chroot.
You need to verify that you are making copies of the libraries to
(chroot)/lib.  If you are missingone, it may be causing the chroot
not to execute.  

Another thing, is that root has to do the chroot.  So telling ssh to
do it is the only way I can think of.  Placing a chroot command in 
~/.profile will not work
