<html> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> </head> <body> Hello, I'd like to dynamically provide group data when group data is queried by the system (as in "getent group"). Since nsswitch can use systemd, I've looked at nss-systemd. As a first step I tried to define a Static Drop-In JSON User Record (because user definition is documented with more details than group definition). So I added a toto.user in /etc/userdb/ with this { "userName" : "toto", "uid" : 7777 } and a 7777.user file pointing to toto.user But when I run "getent passwd", there's no toto user. I tried to see a bit what's going on with strace and I see that getent opens libnss_systemd.so.2 and looks for files in /run/systemd/userdb. But it's not even trying to read in the directories <code class="filename">etc/userdb/</code>, <code class="filename">/run/userdb/</code>, <code class="filename">/run/host/userdb/</code> and <code class="filename">/usr/lib/userdb/</code> <code class="filename"></code> Any suggestion?
