I expected that the response would be like that. I understand the principal of
what you are saying and why you are saying it. I occasionally have a need to
override the data in the shared password database (ldap) locally on 1 or 2
exceptional system with a local entry in /etc/passwd. This works without
problems without nscd, but nscd occasionally gets its cache mixed up by this.
I argue that this is incorrect behavior because /etc/nsswitch.conf defines an
order in which databases are consulted. Allowing data from the second listed
database to override data from the first listed database is therefor incorrect.
I leave this bug as "RESOLVED INVALID" because I am sure that it will just be
closed again anyway, but I want to be know that this functionality is both
important and useful to me, and it provides something that I can not achieve any
other way. I am sure that there are others who have this need also.
