The question is: Is this architecture? Where is it written that
passwd(1) has/must have this limitation? If it isn't a stated
limitation then we'll simply fix this bug, otherwise we'll simply change
that limitation.
passwd(1) says:
When a user has a password stored in one of the name ser-
vices as well as a local files entry, the passwd command
updates both. It is possible to have different passwords in
the name service and local files entry. Use passwd -r to
change a specific password repository.
I don't think that implies a limit of two name service backends for the
passwd database.
