Lennart Poettering f43a19ecd6 nss-systemd: synthesize NSS shadow/gshadow records from userdb, as well
This ensures we not only synthesize regular paswd/group records of
userdb records, but shadow records as well. This should make sure that
userdb can be used as comprehensive superset of the classic
passwd/group/shadow/gshadow functionality.

<title>Description</title>
<para><command>nss-mymachines</command> is a plug-in module for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS) functionality of
the GNU C Library (<command>glibc</command>), providing hostname resolution for the names of containers running
locally that are registered with
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-machined.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>. The
container names are resolved to the IP addresses of the specific container, ordered by their scope. This
functionality only applies to containers using network namespacing (see the description of
<option>--private-network</option> in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-nspawn</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>).
Note that the name that is resolved is the one registered with <command>systemd-machined</command>, which
may be different than the hostname configured inside of the container.</para>
<para>To activate the NSS module, add <literal>mymachines</literal> to the line starting with
<literal>hosts:</literal> in <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename>.</para>
<para>It is recommended to place <literal>mymachines</literal> before the <literal>resolve</literal> or
<literal>dns</literal> entry of the <literal>hosts:</literal> line of
<filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename> in order to make sure that its mappings are preferred over other
resolvers such as DNS.</para>
