commit 969c8392fe3122af31c288fb88e3ba1942f881d2 Author: David Macek via Cygwin-patches <[email protected]> Date: Mon Apr 20 19:21:00 2020 +0200 Cygwin: accounts: Don't keep old schemes when parsing nsswitch.conf The implicit assumption seemed to be that any subsequent occurence of the same setting in nsswitch.conf is supposed to rewrite the previous ones completely. This was not the case if the third or any further schema was previously defined and the last line defined less than that (but at least 2), for example: ``` db_home: windows cygwin /myhome/%U db_home: cygwin desc ``` Let's document this behavior as well.
