So why "compat" used to work and it does no longer?
If I remember well, I had to put the "compat" word in nsswitch.conf
because I was told it would work for both people using NIS and people
not using NIS, so it was a good default for everybody.
Is there a new default to satisfy everybody with glibc-2.2, there
is not anymore, or is this a bug in glibc-2.2?
