But, having worked on Solaris 2.x for some time, we need to avoid some of the blunders Sun made: The biggest problem with Sun's NSS implementation is that it's no longer possible to statically link an application that uses any of the get...byname() functions that have NSS backends. We need to be able to build an application that has no dynamically loaded code for recovery purposes (/stand and /sbin) as well as for security.
