Following up on my posting of yesterday: I've found what appears to be the real problem rather than my half-baked ideas of last night...
It turns out that the version of 'su' which is installed on gentoo systems is not GNU su. It fact, it comes from a package called 'shadow' and this is the essential cause of the problem. So: dchroot is dependent on GNU su for correct operation; it will only work partilly with my current version of su. The only suggestion I might make is this could be noted somewhere in the documentation (unless it was already & I was too stupid to notice). I will now post a bug to the gentoo devs, where it *should* have been posted in the first place. As a side note, I've checked the version of su which is installed on my Fedora Core 2 system at work, and it is the GNU version as expected. So I guess this doesn't solve the original posters problems, but it might be realated (?)
