Package: libc6
Version: 2.11.2-10
Severity: important
File: libc

I have the following line in /etc/nsswitch.conf:

 group: ldap compat

LDAP source is provided by libnss-ldapd (aka nslcd). Now suppose I have
group foo in both the remote LDAP DB and local /etc/group, with
different values:

 (LDAP) foo:*:1500:user1
 (/etc/group) foo:x:500:user2

Invoking

 getent group

will list the LDAP one before the local one, which is expected. However,

 getent group foo

will always show the local one, ie. foo:x:500:user2 instead of the
expected LDAP one. I tried running nslcd in debug mode with

 service nslcd stop && nslcd -d

And it's clear that when I call `getent group foo`, nslcd is *not*
queried. Thus I highly suspect this be a bug in glibc.
