Hey.

FYI, I've just stared upgrading a first test system at our university
cluster from bookworm to trixie... and after the upgrade, its
/etc/nsswitch.conf ended up as:
   # /etc/nsswitch.conf
   #
   # Example configuration of GNU Name Service Switch functionality.
   # If you have the `glibc-doc-reference' and `info' packages installed, try:
   # `info libc "Name Service Switch"' for information about this file.
   
   passwd:         files systemd
   group:          files systemd
   shadow:         files
   gshadow:        files
   
   hosts:          files mymachines dns
   networks:       files
   
   protocols:      db files
   services:       db files
   ethers:         db files
   rpc:            db files
   
   netgroup:       nis

whereas a fresh debootstrap to trixie gives:
   # /etc/nsswitch.conf
   #
   # Example configuration of GNU Name Service Switch functionality.
   # If you have the `glibc-doc-reference' and `info' packages installed, try:
   # `info libc "Name Service Switch"' for information about this file.
   
   passwd:         files systemd
   group:          files systemd
   shadow:         files systemd
   gshadow:        files systemd
   
   hosts:          files dns
   networks:       files
   
   protocols:      db files
   services:       db files
   ethers:         db files
   rpc:            db files
   
   netgroup:       nis


Note the differences in the shadow and gshadow entries.


Cheers,
Chris.
