Please followup to -questions, this is off topic for -security.

Are you sure you're running the OpenSSH ssh daemon on your system?
ssh-chrootmgr is typically part of the ssh.com product, not OpenSSH.

To find out, type this command on your system

# telnet 127.0.0.1 22

At that point you'll be greeted by a version banner, which will identify
your system as either OpenSSH or ssh.com. Mine says (OpenSSH) for example

SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_2.3.0 FreeBSD localisations 20011202

A quick groups.google.com search brings up recent discussions on chrooting
ssh logins, both with ssh.com and OpenSSH products. I suggest you look
there in greater detail.
