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?
