Thanks for the clue; if I can convince Puppet not to use getpwnam(3)
et al then this looks like it will actually be the best option.  I
determined experimentally that simply adding "-V /etc" to the pw(8)
command line will completely disable nsswitch and manipulate only the
local passwd database, which is very nearly what I want.
