 Hi,
 proftp is the best bet. It locks the user in his home directory not allowng 
 him to go below his home directory.
 
Why install a port when the base system ftpd can do the same thing? All
you need to do is put the users you want chrooted in their homedir in
/etc/ftpchroot.

man ftpd

Hi,
If you are using Proftpd add DefaultRoot or try changing their home
directory to

/home/./user

The extra dot should chroot them

In the immortal words of Shawn Guillemette [EMAIL PROTECTED]...
 I want to chroot users to there home directories so that I can allow
 them to use FTP and not worry about someone going lower then there
 home dir.. 

The default ftpd in FreeBSD works nicely, try looking in:

man ftpchroot

Cheers

Tim
