I'll have to look into the options for installing /bin/false in Mac OS X, thank's for the tip.

As for the directory ownership, root:admin should do the job - it's the root ownership that's most important.
I was able to chown to 0:0 (root:wheel).

The directory structure for the chroot jail is this:

/webhome/web

Here are the permissions for jail path:

/ permissions: drwxrwxr-t + 33 root admin 1224 Jul 10 11:10 .

/webhome permissions: drwxr-xr-x + 3 root wheel 102 Jul 10 11:10 .

/webhome/web permissions: drwxr-xr-x + 6 root wheel 204 Jul 7 11:32 .

subdirectories within web are chown/chmod'd with user permissions to write. (ie /webhome/web/site1/ etc)

If I comment out the jail settings in sshd_config, the jailed users are able to login just fine. Re-enabling the jail I get the error in /etc/secure.log: "fatal: bad ownership or modes for chroot directory component "/"" wether I ssh in or sftp in.
