It's a vastly different problem.  With ftp, all you need to do is keep
the daemon and possiably a few external programs working.  With ssh or
telnet, there's little point unless you can keep a set of applications
working.  There are choot patches for ssh avaliable.  Alternativly, you
can use jail(8) to seperate processes from each other.

One (debian specific)writeup on chrooted ssh:
