Bug#311370: Unwanted "security" precautions in nss_compat
Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-21
Severity: important
nss_compat module recently started to ignore groups with under 1000 gids
and there are no means to configure it mentioned in the documentation.
As a result any network groups inherited from old times where 500 was
a popular cutoff will not be visible without hacking nss_switch.conf
to add an explicit "nis" entry for groups
Can't find the actual problem in the changelog so this has most likely
crept up as a part of other patches.
