Users in the nis (by default) or nisplus db will be valid on that
system if you have "compat" on the "passwd" line of
"/etc/nsswitch.conf".

thx.
There seems to be a bug somewhere, I suppose.
Either entries behind that line shouldn't be ignored or all entries
have to be written before that line.

Ok, but that has nothing to do with systemd ;)

This line is for the NIS client.

It's to do with the NSS "compat" plugin, which glues together
NIS and a traditional password file.
Look for "Compatibility mode (compat)" in
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/nsswitch.conf.5.html

getent passwd systemd-timesync
-> returns nothing

getent group systemd-timesync
-> returns:
systemd-timesync:x:463:


I found an entry "+::" in my passwd - no idea, what that means. I've
never seen that. All entries after that one are reported as non existent
by getent. I moved this line to the end of the file, and getent reports
the entries missing before.

Thx for that hint.

Does anyone know, what "+::" in /etc/passwd means?

What does "getent passwd systemd-timesync" and "getent group
systemd-timesync" report?
