/etc/nsswitch just doesn't exist.

Mine is showing:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] log]# perl -e '(@a)=getgrnam("daemon");$"=":";print "@a\n";'
daemon:x:2:root bin daemon
if I understand well, exim says that for the command I tried (echo
pseudo-tst | exim -v -d+all-memory [EMAIL PROTECTED]) don't need
privileges, so it tries to switch to:
uid 8 which is:
/etc/passwd: mail:x:8:12:mail:/var/spool/mail:/sbin/nologin
and gid 12 which is:
/etc/group: mail:x:12:mail
right? so if both user and group are mail, why it's complaining about
daemon?
I supouse after exim switches UID and GID it does a lookup of the group
daemon. So I tried adding root to mail user, but nothing. Even changing the
group from exim.conf line 617 gives the same error.
Well.. can't think of anything else.
