Hello,

It should work with the base openssh on 7.4. Check your version with sshd
-v.
Here, search for chroot(or use google :)):
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd_config&sektion=5

Regarding ssh login, I usually use "rbash" from the ports, that restricts
the user from leaving his or her home directory!
