Subject:   vipw puts temp file in wrong place.

We have a host running 4.6.1-RELEASE-p10 at the moment. (We have been through 
a couple of patch levels the last week, but we encountered the problem first 
time after upgrading from 4.6-RELEASE-p3 to 4.6.1-RELEASE-p3)

We have an application chrooted into its own partition.

Sometimes we need to add a user in the chroot-jail, but suddenly vipw has 
begun to complain:

root:/# vipw -d /chroot/oppringt/etc

< editing and saving with :wq!>

/pw.Cz2VRd: 1620 lines, 179880 characters.
vipw: rebuilding the database...
pwd_mkdb: /pw.Cz2VRd.orig to /chroot/oppringt/etc/passwd: Cross-device link


What can I do to make vipw put its temp file somewhere else (i.e. 
/chroot/oppringt where it used to before the upgrade)?
