Hey!
       I followed this one step by step - 
http://www.tjw.org/chroot-login-HOWTO/  

I am curious to know of any security implications with the above 
setup..... Although I do trust the user that has access to it, it would 
be nice to know :)


If you have any questions, etc, please let me know :)


Cheers,
            Andrew.
