it means that pgsql will be searched even if requested data are found, in
such case the default is return.

afaik the default in NOTFOUND case is to continue, so I'm not sure why it's
mentioned here. see man nsswitch.conf(5)

I wouldn't expect the nss to "stop working". It probably works the way you
configured it to do, but you don't have correct data in pgsql.
if an account exists in pgsql, only the data in pgsql are used in this case.
(afaik). Check the data.

does anyone read (and follow) this? I only tell people they are violating
debian list policy, since private copies may be send only when user requests
them (Mail-Followup-To: is nice way)
