Hopefully, this won't be necessary much longer.  Once it obtains the DHCP
lease, NWAM should also ensure that nsswitch.conf is updated for you; but
there's a race condition that occurs on boot that currently prevents that
from happening, documented in CR 6584967[1].  I integrated a fix for that
bug into nevada today, which means it should be available in build 94.
