Yes - for your sanity. For just one or two users you might just use
useradd inside the chroot and give it the same parameters as in 64 land.
Here's the command I used when I set my personal chroot up a year or so ago
(from my notes)
useradd -g 1006 -u 1006 -G 5,10,11,16,18,19,100 fellows
passwd fellows
Obviously you have to use your uid, gid an groups list values.
I quickly decided I did not want to use the sam personal home directory for
both environments. So I did this (again from my notes)
I created on 64 /home/fellows/home32, copied ~/{.bashrc,bash_profile, .ssh}
to it. On 32 I did
usermod -d /home/fellows/home32 fellows
to make a different home directory
This way I could do selective sharing by means of copying or symlinks yet keep
32 and 64 bit versions of programs from using the same "dot" files.
