+{AJ} If you have an entry "db" in /etc/nsswitch.conf you should also create
+the database files.  The glibc sources contain a Makefile which does the
+neccessary conversion and calls to create those files.  The file is
+`db-Makefile' in the subdirectory `nss' and you can call it with `make -f
+db-Makefile'.  Please note that not all services are capable of using a
+database.  Currently passwd, group, ethers, protocol, rpc, services shadow
