NAME
nss − configuration file for initgroups lookup method
SYNOPSIS
/etc/default/nss
DESCRIPTION
The /etc/default/nss configuration file controls the behavior of the name service switch routines outside of the source database mappings provided by the /etc/nsswitch.conf file.
/etc/default/nss
supports the following options:
NETID_AUTHORITATIVE
Changes the behavior of the name service lookups to use the netid table in response to the initgroups(3C) call. The netid table is provided by the LOCAL entries of the NIS+ cred.org_dir table. By default, initgroups() uses the group table. When NETID_AUTHORITATIVE is set to TRUE, initgroups() will use netid as the source for supplementary groups rather than the group table.
The name service administrator must ensure that the netid table contains valid supplementary group information for users. Not all name services can automatically keep the members listed in the group table in sync with the netid table.
