   Under the Unix NSS implementation, will it identify groups for users who do 
not show in the `getent passwd` list?
   
   The most common scenario for the use of the shell provider is when NSS & PAM 
are integrated with SSSD _(back to a corporate LDAP)_ and often have 
`enumerate=false` so that `getent` doesn't show the companies 1000s of users.
   
   In that scenarios the users/groups will not show in `getent passwd` and 
`getent group`, but will show if you query the user/group directly (i.e. 
`getent passwd ${user}`, `getent group ${group}`, `id ${user}`).
   
   So a users groups would need to be determined at the time they do something 
as it would be for other OS integrated systems.
