I think the documentation in the manual needs to be updated.  
Specifically, nss.texi documents the defaults for various NSS databases, 
and it needs to be made to reflect how the defaults depend on how glibc is 
configured.

Does the "nis [NOTFOUND=return] files" default in 
nsswitch.c:__nss_database_lookup need to change as well?
