Package: base-files Version: 7.1 Severity: serious Tags: patch Hi Santiago,
I've attached a patch for adding support for the "gshadow" (group shadow) NSS database to nsswitch.conf. Without this, the libc getsg* family of functions will not work, hence marking serious or else these functions will be broken for new installations; would also be nice if it was possible to add for upgrades as well? Do we have any mechanism for making NSS updates? Note that it's using the "files" service rather than "compat" here because "compat" does not support gshadow, but "files" does (can be tested by running "getent gshadow" as root).
