When implementing get_entry_by_gid do we need to return a value for preexisting gid in /etc/group file? Also, same question regarding get_entry_by_name for group and passwd.

Does libnss_shim know to only call those methods if it can't find those ids and gids in the /etc/group and /etc/passwd files?

amd64 rpm v1.2 install fails on Amazon linux 2 ec2 instance. However v1.1 install works correctly. Error for installing v1.2 is shown below.

[root@ip-1 v1.2]# curl -sLo libnss_shim.rpm https://github.com/xenago/libnss_shim/releases/download/1.2.0/libnss_shim-1.2.0-1_x86_64.rpm
[root@ip-1 v1.2]# sudo rpm -Uv ./libnss_shim.rpm

Hi, thank you for creating this package. I would like to set this package up on an Amazon Linux 2. Could you provide support for that OS?

Thank you for your time

Hi,

Thanks so much for the quick turn around time on support for rhel7. Would you be able to support arm64 as well? I'm trying to get libnss_shim working with AL2 arm64 as well.

Hi,

I installed libnss_shim on a linux server and I set up the config to call a Python script. The python script looks like this

print("fakeuser-2:x:1004:1004::/home/fakeuser-2:/bin/bash")

When I run getent passwd I see fakeuser-2 is printed as shown below

...
testuser-1:x:1002:1002::/home/testuser-1:/bin/bash
testuser-2:x:1003:1003::/home/testuser-2:/bin/bash
fakeuser-2:x:1004:1004::/home/fakeuser-2:/bin/bash

However, when I run su fakeuser-2, I get the error su: user fakeuser-2 does not exist. This does not happen if I edit /etc/passwd manually. I would like to add fakeuser-2 dynamically and not have to edit /etc/passwd directly. Do you know how I can do that?
