There is a patch around that can do this, but it's never been allowed into the mainstream sources, for reasons I can't quite remember. In my case, I patched rssh to use yppasswd; that way the actual passwd file exists outside the chroot. The machine is a one-node NIS network. I doubt my patch is useful to you though - I think I made various and sundry other changes as well, so I might find it difficult to supply you with a clean patch. Search the past archives of this list, and you'll probably find the original passwd patch I based my work on. As you say, svnserve support should be easier, although it requires a lot of extra libraries to be inserted into your chroot, if you're using that, and some people might be a bit nervous about that.
