Hi, As part of my original plans for my GLEP27 implementation, I was going to have my scripts automatically add the users requested by a package (for example, the cron user), to all the passwd backends listsed in /etc/nsswitch.conf. However, in consultation with some folks, it seems that what may be more desirable is to just add users/groups to the local files/compat backends instead, and not make any changes to the remote databases.
Does anyone have any strong notion of any cases where it would be excessively bad for the package manager to try adding to, say, the nss_nis backend in addition to the nss_files backend, or cases where that would be a strongly desired behavior? -- Mike Kelly
