For some reason this makes me a bit uneasy: it's far more common to have one or more NSS-side fallbacks (like "files altfiles") than just a single entity, so it kinda seems we should test with that. But then if we use an NSS lookup, it's NSS' headache to deal with it, we just need to prove NSS is used. As we do in this test-group. So my worry seems ungrounded, but just noting it here in case it makes some bells ring for somebody else :sweat_smile:
