Somehow while editing my /etc/nsswitch.conf access mode becomes 0600 while owned by root, i.e. no access from user programs. It immediately case bugs I describe. But previous NSS variant can handle this unreadable /etc/nsswitch.conf nicely, probably using defaults. I think new variant should be fixed to do the same. Unreadable /etc/nsswitch.conf is not enough reason to stop working. -- Andrey Chernov | http://ache.pp.ru/
