Package: base-files
Version: 6.5
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Please consider switching to "files" in place of "compat" in
the default nsswitch.conf (patch attached). "compat" is for
compatibility with libc5, which we switched away from well
over a decade ago. The compatibility it provides includes
including NSS databases with the addition of special magic
lines to passwd, group etc. However, modern glibc has
separate nis nss modules for this purpose, making the
compat mode redundant.
For this reason, I would recommend using "files" only for
new installs, which would enable the phasing out of
"compat" libc5 usage over the next stable release.
Many thanks,
Roger
