Hello,
I'd like to dynamically provide group data when group data is queried by
the system (as in "getent group").
Since nsswitch can use systemd, I've looked at nss-systemd.
As a first step I tried to define a Static Drop-In JSON User Record
(because user definition is documented with more details than group
definition).
So I added a toto.user in /etc/userdb/ with this
{
"userName" : "toto",
"uid" : 7777
}
and a 7777.user file pointing to toto.user
But when I run "getent passwd", there's no toto user.
I tried to see a bit what's going on with strace and I see that getent
opens libnss_systemd.so.2 and looks for files in /run/systemd/userdb.
But it's not even trying to read in the directories |etc/userdb/|,
|/run/userdb/|, |/run/host/userdb/| and |/usr/lib/userdb/|
||
Any suggestion?
Sincerely
--
