Hello,

I am suggesting the following update of the  "notfound" status on the
nsswitch.conf.5 man page. I am not 100% sure that this is the correct place
where this information on the man page should be placed. Any comments are
welcome.

Hi Peter,

I did a rewrite of the nsswitch.conf man page in October last year:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.man/2366/match=nsswitch+conf

I'm still waiting for Michael to incorporate these changes.  May I suggest
you send in a patch that is applied against this?  I would also suggest that
if you're going to make reference to "initgroups" you'll need to add some
further description somewhere that explains what this is and when you would
use it.

Looking a little deeper at this, I'd like another set of eyes. Mark,
would you be able to review Peter's patch?

Thanks,

Michael
