Description
Summary of the new feature / enhancement
Hello OpenSSH team,
First of all, thank you very much for your excellent work on this essential project!
I would like to kindly suggest a feature regarding the chroot functionality. Would it be possible to add an option to allow following symbolic links, junctions, or mount points that point outside of the chroot? Alternatively, supporting chrooting into multiple directories simultaneously could also address this use case.
This would help in scenarios where accessing shared resources outside the chroot is necessary while maintaining system security and isolation.
Thank you in advance for your consideration, and keep up the great work!
Best regards,

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the Win32-OpenSSH chroot implementation and its handling of symbolic links, junctions, and mount points; then determine which proposed behavior is viable without weakening isolation. Done would require an agreed design, implementation, and coverage for the selected behavior.
