Description
nscd doesn't initialize params->privdb, and thus at times spuriously treats them as privileged. How in the world this isn't screwing everyone, all the time, is beyond me.
An except from the nscd log when looking up the 'mail' group:
Fri Aug 23 15:23:14.9218--3--19447 nss_search: database = group, config = >>files<< Fri Aug 23 15:23:14.9218--3--19447 nss_search: nsw source = files Fri Aug 23 15:23:14.9218--3--19447 nss_search: no privilege to look up, skip source
Notice how searching the 'files' source for 'group' is reporting that I lack the privilege. The group database is absolutely unprivileged.
