+	NSS (Name Service Switch) will _not_ be used for user and group lookups
+	in package operations. Instead, *rpm* will do its own file-based lookups
+	using the *passwd*(5) and *group*(5) files in their standard locations,
+	or those set in *rpm-config*(5), inside _DIRECTORY_. Note that, if
+	_DIRECTORY_ is _/_ (the forward slash), NSS will be used as normal.

Wouldn't hurt to mention nsswitch.conf(5) here too.  Maybe something like "NSS will be used normally as configured in system nsswitch.conf(5)"?
