# You can change the permissions structure so as not to allow a user to
# exit a directory. For example: user is logged into /home/users/someuser,
# they can cd to /home/users, but not down to /home; and therefore not to
# anything below /home (eg: /etc).

Have you tried ProFTPD? You can configure it so that all users (except
for a listed set of groups) will login and the default root would be
their home directories. That way you won't have to worry about chroot or
ftpchroot.

It also supports virtual servers and configures like Apache (even has
.ftpaccess for those who grok .htaccess).
