BTW, we need a new nss implementation; the current one has serious flaws that cannot be fixed without a redesign. That would be a good occasion to write a solid, shared passwd(5) / group(5) parser, and maybe get rid of pwd.db, which serves no real purpose and is not compatible with a full implementation of the + syntax.
