Rob,

If you want a nice message, I suggest creating a class in
/etc/logins.conf which point to a /etc/issues.sftponly file where
the
user gets a nice message, which you deem appropriate.

Secondly, as far as chroot, I don't believe OpenSSH supports chroot
natively, however I know there is a patch floating around (I believe
in
the contrib/ directory of the openssh portable tarball) which will
patch
openssh to support chroot'd environments.  You will need to
recompile
the openssh portable distribution, however.
