We run policyd v1.81 as user/group policyd, chroot to an empty
directory /var/empty/policyd/. But then policyd isn't able to
resolve my MYSQLHOST hostname. If I use ip-address it works fine.

It complains:

        policyd: connecting to mysql database: 
        policyd: mysql_real_connect(): Unknown MySQL server host 
'mysqldserver.mydomain.net' (3) 

It seems it requires access to nscd's socket /var/run/nscd/socket, 
so if I bind mount this to /var/empty/policyd/var/run/nscd/socket, 
everything works fine.

        mount -o bind /var/run/nscd /var/empty/policyd/var/run/nscd

Any ideas for how to avoid this ? 

I've tried putting a hosts file, resolv.conf and nsswitch into the chroot/etc,
setting up a more complete chroot with dev/null, dev/random, to no avail..
