2.26. How do I get the same behavior on parsing /etc/passwd and
/etc/group as I have with libc5 ?
{TK} The name switch setup in /etc/nsswitch.conf selected by most Linux
distributions does not support +/- and netgroup entries in the files like
/etc/passwd. Though this is the preferred setup some people might have
setups coming over from the libc5 days where it was the default to recognize
lines like this. To get back to the old behaviour one simply has to change
the rules for passwd, group, and shadow in the nsswitch.conf file as
follows:
passwd: compat
group: compat
shadow: compat
passwd_compat: nis
group_compat: nis
shadow_compat: nis
