Hi,

The nss-mymachines manpage states:

        Here is an example /etc/nsswitch.conf file that enables nss-mymachines 
correctly:

            passwd:         compat mymachines
            group:          compat mymachines
            [...]

Doesn't that means that the postinst script should also add the module to 
passwd and group

I've just checked a Fedora VM, and it seems to only enable mymachines
for hosts (as we do in Debian):

# grep mymachines /etc/nsswitch.conf
hosts:  files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns myhostname mymachines


Now I wonder whether the upstream docs are correct on this matter and we
should actually enable it for passwd/group, or if the docs should be fixed.

For what I can see in the source, mymachine module implement the functions for the passwd and group databases as well:

nss-mymachines.c:enum nss_status _nss_mymachines_getpwnam_r(
nss-mymachines.c:enum nss_status _nss_mymachines_getpwuid_r(
nss-mymachines.c:enum nss_status _nss_mymachines_getgrnam_r(
nss-mymachines.c:enum nss_status _nss_mymachines_getgrgid_r(


Maybe it's not ready or broken?
