You need something like this:

  http://olivier.sessink.nl/jailkit/index.html#intro

It hasn't been tested under the Cygwin environment and it's not trivial to =
install.

Another option is to use a patched sshd that suports 'ChrootGroups' or
'ChrootUsers', there is:

  http://chrootssh.sourceforge.net/

Since chroot is part of the Cygwin's coreutils package, it may work.

I haven't used any of these, nor do I need it (so far), but it would be
interesting to hear if anyone had any success with this.
