Anish,

Thank you for the good information.  I would guess that it doesn't work within 
the chroot because of some new requirements imposed by the newer versions of 
OpenSSH, although it seems strange that you didn't have any logging 
information for your second attempt.

We just added a FAQ that should help with this.  Please see questions #2 and 
#3 on the FAQ page:

Please give us an update on whether or you not you get things working and 
whether or not the patch you applied for the new SFTP logging features works 
for you.

You will probably need to make sure that you have a /dev/log within the chroot 
for the sftp logging capability to work.

I hope that helps.
