I attempted to capture some of this discussion here:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=729118
If anyone has more thoughts/ideas please feel free to follow up here,
and I can update the bug, or comment on the bug directly.
I am still not convinced it is a good idea to split passwd in multiple
files, besides potentially affecting applications and backup tools and
custom scripts.
- How do you deal with conflicts ?
- What happen when an admin legitimately just use vipw and adds a system
user in /etc/passwd instead of one of the other 2 you mention ?
- How do you propose to resolve users from multiple files ?
- Are you going to introduce new nss modules ?
- Are you going to change pam_unix to lookup from all there files in
different ways ?
anything else ?
Simo.
