_BINGO_
You just hit the nail on the head Tim. Two atta-boys to you.
After doing much testing, I tried creating an empty "etc" directory in a
domain (/home/sites/site??) and then made a _link_ to /etc/passwd and
/etc/group. _does_not_work_. I then made a copy of passwd and group into
this directory and it _does_ work. So it is definitely the chroot jail that
is causing this particular problem.
