bilgebag's Journal: Accessing existing files in a chroot jail

Cut and pasted from LWN:

  how can you have an app that runs in the chroot jail access files that are in more normal locations?

mount /etc/passwd /chroot/etc/passwd -o bind
mount /etc/shadow /chroot/etc/shadow -o bind
mount /etc/group /chroot/etc/group -o bind
mount /home /chroot/home -o bind

should do the trick. Of course, using ldap authentication the first three are not needed.
