"This tutorial describes how to install and configure OpenSSH so that it will allow chrooted sessions for users. With this setup, you can give your users shell access without having to fear that they can see your whole system. Your users will be jailed in a specific directory which they will not be able to break out of."

It doesn't seem that easy for me... First, newly created files and directories won't appear in the chroot. Also, rpm does not overwrite (modify) files but replaces them with new ones. (Not sure but i'd guess tar/dpkg do the same). In that case, updated files are unlinked so the updates won't be shared.

Lots of linking, ya it sucks, but it would work.
Just setup a master chroot user dir with all the links, then copy it for all the users.
That way when you update your system, everything within the chroot also gets updated.
