If you're lucky, you're just missing a symlink:
$ ls -l /usr/lib/libuser.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 May 16 14:20 /usr/lib/libuser.so.1 ->
libuser.so.1.1.1
Does anything else appear to be missing? There are lots of lib* files and
symlinks in that directory.
What release of CentOS4? If it's 4.4, I could tarball my /usr/lib and post
it on the web for you to download.
