you can make an entirely new master.passwd in your chroot/etc/ and 
then use pwd_makedb with the appropiate path names to build your
chrot/etc/pwd.db and chroot/etc/spwd.db

man pwd_makedb
man master.passwd

perhaps you create the master.passwd in a more secure place 
(outside the chroott) or move it there afterwards.
