It could definitely do with a bit more documentation. I had a look at the upstream git repository, and there is no README explaining why this NSS module is more useful than having the simple 'you do not exist, go away' style of handling for uids with no entry in passwd. As far as I can tell from the code, it will return a passwd entry also for unknown users, with a hardcoded gid, gecos, home and shell. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
