    Generally chroot defeats the purpose of OpenSSH. With
    OpenSSH/SSH/Telnet/rsh/etc, you want to be able to log in and use the
    system. For administrative purposes, it would be useless if root didn't
    have access to the file system. You might as well just shut off OpenSSH
    completely. If you're in a chroot-jail, there's not much you can
    administer except the OpenSSH daemon.
