Package: libc6 Version: 2.9-4 Severity: important Unlike the passwd, shadow, groups etc. databases, the glibc NSS implementation does not include the gshadow database (which is the shadow file for the group database as shadow is for the passwd database).
This prevents utilities such as getent from working: % sudo getent shadow [...] % sudo getent gshadow Unknown database: gshadow Not having one of the key password database files supported by NSS is a significant lacking. gshadow can subsequently only be accessed as the file /etc/gshadow and not via any of the NSS modules such as db or ldap. It would be great if this could be fixed for Squeeze.
