No reason, I just didn't realise libnss_nis wasn't built by default.
Here is an updated patch for setting the default lookup methods in nss.
I updated nss/nsswitch.c to not use nis lookups when RPC is not
configured and I updated DEFAULT_CONFIG in grp/initgroups.c to be
"compat [NOTFOUND=return] files" when using NSL instead of just "compat
files". DJ noticed that and I think the missing NOTFOUND is just an
oversight and it conflicted with the documentation in manual/nss.texi.
Fixing the code seemed more reasonable than documenting the existing
setting. I did update the documentation to reflect the behavour of
this patch.
I tested once with "--enable-obsolete-nsl --enable-obsolete-rpc" and
once without and had no regressions from the unmodified glibc on
aarch64.
OK to checkin?
