Basically, it is not the same purpose. For restricting your users, rsh 
should do it. Indeed, chroot is more a complex to setup, but is more 
designed to restrict telnetd than the user. At least, it should avoid 
not_too_expert crackers to use any exploit available in you telnetd program.

BTW, why not use ssh ?
