I think my solution is to use
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-8.5.tar.gz and create a
~/bin/newchroot
I think I am on my way, but why can I not su in a chroot???
[root@devserver21 coreutils-8.5]# ./src/chroot --help
Usage: ./src/chroot [OPTION] NEWROOT [COMMAND [ARG]...]
or: ./src/chroot OPTION
Run COMMAND with root directory set to NEWROOT.
--userspec=USER:GROUP specify user and group (ID or name) to use
--groups=G_LIST specify supplementary groups as g1,g2,..,gN
--help display this help and exit
--version output version information and exit
If no command is given, run ``${SHELL} -i'' (default: /bin/sh).
