Chrooted services can't can't find respective user/group

Well the title says it all. Services such as apache squid and the like that start as root then drop to (ie. apache/apache) can't find user/group. I'm using the the standerd Gentoo kernel 2.4.20-r2, not sure which version of grsec it uses but it tends to be bleeding edge, so I would guess the latest release.

Have you made a copy of /etc/passwd to the chrooted jail? You probably need access to /etc/nsswitch.conf and /lib/libnss_* also.
Do you get any log entries?
