Description Maurizio Schena 2016-01-05 08:30:58 UTC 
Description of problem:

Would be helpful to implement a description of NSS compatibility mode in the nsswitch.conf man page as described in the following Red HAt documentation:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Deployment_Guide/Configuration_Options-NSS_Configuration_Options.html

In the paragraph " ⁠NSS Compatibility Mode".
Comment 2 Florian Weimer 2016-01-05 08:44:56 UTC 
nsswitch.conf is part of the man-pages package, therefore reassigning.

$ rpm -qf /usr/share/man/man5/nsswitch.conf.5.gz 
man-pages-3.22-20.el6.noarch
Comment 3 Nikola Forró 2016-01-19 14:02:29 UTC 
Hello,

the following patch has been sent and accepted upstream:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-man/msg09895.html

It should be obvious now from the manpage that any NSS service including sss can be used as the source for passwd_compat pseudo-database.

Maurizio, is this sufficient?
