No, it is not a problem with nsswitch.conf. It looks like getpwent(3) is not setting `_PWF_FILES' in pw_fields. This not too surprising for me, because at one point I was going to do away with _PWF_(FILES|NIS|HESIOD), until I realized that passwd(1) used them. I know I put them back for `nis' and `dns' (hesiod), but I must have missed files. Thanks for the catch! I will commit a fix shortly. Cheers, -- Jacques A.
