The HOWTO mentions this but does not give an > example. Could you give me an example. I tried to be clear but... anyway, my /etc/nsswitch.conf looks like this:
#-------------------cut here to damage your monitor----------------------
# /etc/nsswitch.conf

# Example configuration of GNU Name Service Switch functionality.

passwd: compat
group: compat
shadow: compat
hosts: files dns
networks: files dns
protocols: db files
services: db files
ethers: db files
rpc: db files
netgroup: nis db files

As for documentation try the command
info libc
then look at the section
* Name Service Switch
(You need the debian package libc6-doc for this. Yes, this is not obvious.)
