Well ... we tried running NSCD and set it up to cache passwd and group but I am still getting the "user with UID 317241 not found" warnings and cannot use --container with shell.
We must not have something setup correctly ... I will have to look into this more later this fall. We can still use guix we just have that warning and cannot take advantage of the --container argument to shell or guix pack. I really appreciate everyone's help and we definitely have learned something!
