Yes : you do not have to have something after the ./

So, the entry can be :

	/home/users/blah/./

and 'blah' will now log directly into his chrooted homedir.

Also, if you're going to specify a /dir/ extension for chroot, it should most
definitely exist, because logins will try and chdir to it immediately after
setting the chroot.
