Bug#616171: nsswitch settings change this
In my original report I had the following in nsswitch.conf:
group: compat
If I change this to:
group: compat nis
then both calls to getgrouplist in my sample program return the correct
number of groups whether nscd is running or not. I have also noticed
that with group set just to "compat" with nscd turned on, that sometime
nscd loses the NIS groups and just reports the local groups. I have to
stop nscd, delete the cache files in /var/cache/nscd, and start nscd
again to fix this.
