That's rather far from actually fixing the problem. Can we get it
fixed _first_? It seems that we could drop the glibc caching, or by
modify authconfig to instruct the user to reboot after changing
/etc/nsswitch.conf .
I'm not opposed to changing the default nsswitch.conf to avoid that
reboot (well, I think it's ugly to refer to a non-installed module,
but that's an aesthetic, not a principal thing) and to improve the
user experience in the default case, but we do need to have some way
to fix the underlying problem, a better way than just giving up and
conceding that nsswitch.conf can't be edited from now on.
