> Yup, just makes me think maybe we shouldn't offer the unsafe option of nss-in-chroot at all. This is the best opportunity we'll ever have to drop that behavior, and if somebody still complains we broke their toys, then we'll at least _know_ somebody is relying on that behavior.

We're a bit out-of-sync in the comments here :laughing: Maybe you're right, after all. So how about

1. Normal operation (no `--root` override) uses NSS
2. Custom `--root` operation uses file lookup (no option to override)
3. User can enforce file lookup (by defining `%_passwd_path` and/or `%_group_path`, which will be undefined in stock configuration)
