Initgroups for nss-altfiles #14

Open vcode11 opened 3 weeks ago

vcode11 commented 3 weeks ago

Nss-altfiles doesn't support initgroups this makes systems fail when nscd is down. Is it possible to support initgroups similar to how nss-files supports it?

If one adds altfiles as a backend in /etc/nsswitch.conf glibc falls back to groups automatically. So that is a mitigation for this issue.
