After your reply, I checked on my other machines and found that they
do have the nsswitch.conf file. I guess I read my ls output too
quickly :)
I copied the nsswitch.conf from a working machine, and it works. Woah.
In my 6-year history with Linux, I've never had to screw with that,
hence my apparent idiocy.
Thanks!
