[wplug] Nsswitch.conf docs?

> do you know what the nsswitch.conf is suppossed to do?

it lets you choose which System databases of information to use for
hosts, users, groups, etc.

e.g. you can say "for usernames, use NIS, then /etc/passwd", and
"for hosts, use dns, then NIS, then /etc/hosts"

I've seen this on HP-UX and Solaris, and looking at my SuSE box,
it has it as well.
