/var/db is typically associated with the nss_db Name Service Switch
database, which LFS doesn't use. I thought NIS used updated /etc files
from the master server, but I suppose NIS could be set up to keep the
/var/db database current as well (not sure about that), but then it is
just one of many ways you can resolve name service stuff through
/etc/nsswitch.conf.
