Hi Herbert,
Thanks for your answer.
> what exactly fails there?
I get a 'connection closed' as soon as I try to connect via sftp or
scp (which are allowed in rss.conf in the vserver, of course). When I
comment out the "chroot = dir" option, which defines where the chroot
dir is located, everything's fine.
So, I googled and found that some libraries might be missing inside
the chroot (as shown in the gentoo rssh chroot howto, for example). I
added them, with no avail.

I followed this howto :

I tried that also, and it still doesn't work for me :(
What's strange is that rssh works fine as long as I don't try and
chroot it (either with sftp or scp). But as soon as I try and use the
chroot feature, it stops working... So I guess there's something wrong
with my chroot jail.
But since you say chroot works inside a vserver, I might try to use it
without rssh...
