Perhaps the second URL above would answer this, but I'm offline at the moment so can't check (and anyway, bug reports should stand alone, without having to refer to external websites). pam_group already works to let you set any group membership you want, whether that group is in the local /etc/group database or is provided by another NSS module, because it calls the NSS-aware getgrnam() function to get the gid to set. And I don't see how NSS interfaces are going to provide any netgroup-like functionality in any event. Can you explain what it is you expect such a change to do for you? -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
