[Cialug] Chroot ssh

I've got a web hosting account that provides SSH access. They somehow
chroot you in so that you can edit your site, run things like python,
bash, etc, but can't see the server configuration or other users' or
sites' stuff.

I've googled and found a howto at howtoforge, but step 2 contains this
phrase which scares me a little:

> We download the patched OpenSSH sources...

I've wanted to do this for a while... anyone done this or something like it?
