  In -current, Luke Mewburn has added support for nsswitch.conf
-- "man nsswitch.conf" pulls up some docs.  If the file doesn't
exist, the behavior is what we're used to.  If it does exist, you
can do all sorts of cool things (shells via NIS instead of
adding tcsh and bash to every machine's /etc/shells, for
example).
