The current default nsswitch.conf file provided by glibc is not very distribution friendly. The file contains some minimal directives that no real distribution uses. This update aims to provide a rich set of comments which are useful for all distributions, and a broader set of service defines which should work for all distributions. Tested defaults on x86_64 and they work. The nsswitch.conf file more closely matches what we have in Fedora now, and I'll adjust Fedora to use this version with minor changes to enable Fedora-specific service providers. v2 - Add missing databases to manual. - Add link to manual from default nsswitch.conf. - Sort nsswitch.conf according to most used database first. v3 - Only mention implemented services in 'NSS Basics.' - Mention 'automount' in 'Services in the NSS configuration.' - Sort services in alphabetical order. v4 - Project name is 'Samba'. v5 - Fix typo in manual/nss.texi. v6 - Fix another typo in manual/nss.texi. Ran spell checker this time.

# An example Name Service Switch config file. This file should be
|
|
# sorted with the most-used services at the beginning.
|
|
#
|
|
# Valid databases are: aliases, ethers, group, gshadow, hosts,
|
|
# initgroups, netgroup, networks, passwd, protocols, publickey,
|
|
# rpc, services, and shadow.
|
|
#
|
|
# Valid service provider entries include (in alphabetical order):
|
|
#
|
|
# compat Use /etc files plus *_compat pseudo-db
|
|
# db Use the pre-processed /var/db files
|
|
# dns Use DNS (Domain Name Service)
|
|
# files Use the local files in /etc
|
|
# hesiod Use Hesiod (DNS) for user lookups

# myhostname Use systemd host names
|
|
# mymachines Use systemd machine names

#
|
|
# Notes:
|
|
#
|
|
# 'sssd' performs its own 'files'-based caching, so it should generally
|
|
# come before 'files'.
|
|
#
|
|
# WARNING: Running nscd with a secondary caching service like sssd may
|
|
# lead to unexpected behaviour, especially with how long
|
|
# entries are cached.
|
|
#
|
|
# Installation instructions:
|
|
#
|
|
# To use 'db', install the appropriate package(s) (provide 'makedb' and
|
|
# libnss_db.so.*), and place the 'db' in front of 'files' for entries
|
|
# you want to be looked up first in the databases, like this:
|
|
#
|
|
# passwd: db files
|
|
# shadow: db files
|
|
# group: db files
|
|
|
|
# In alphabetical order. Re-order as required to optimize peformance.
