You'd have to duplicate the all the library paths and dependencies exactly to have any hope, which defeats the point of a chroot. It's more secure to let CVSNT do the chroot itself (Requires 2.0.51b or later). Set the Chroot variable in /etc/cvsnt/PServer and it'll chroot after doing the authentication - you no longer need to put any libraries in the chroot which is much safer (it just needs a /tmp to put the temporary files in).
