Chroot with pam

Hey everyone,

As many of you may know, I maintain a patch to OpenSSH to chroot users 
(http://chrootssh.sourceforge.net). It has been decided by the OpenSSH 
developer's that such a patch should not be in the source because chroot 
should occur outside of OpenSSH (which I agree with, but still need to 
chroot users). Pam is capable of chrooting users and I am planning to 
experiment with it but was curious if anyone has had any experience 
trying this?

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
