I'm trying to set up an arrangement that requires an application (samba/smbd) to run under chroot. It fails to find users, failing at getpwnam. Also under chroot 'getent passwd user' and a perl script that calls getpwnam return null. All these work as expected when not under chroot.
I have replicated /etc/passwd,shadow,group,nsswitch.conf and the pam.d directory relative to the chroot directory tree, as well as the libraries and loader seen in each with ldd. I've tried a few variations the nsswitch.conf which is currently 'passwd: compat', such as 'passwd: files nis' (this machine is an NIS slave server) with no change. Is this a feature of getpwnam or have I missed some aspect of setup. Thanks.
