Bug Description
If a group is defined in multiple places (such as /etc/group and libnss-db)
then getent fails. The operation of the system uses the union of the two
entries, getent returns the first.
% grep ^group /etc/nsswitch.conf
group: db compat
% getent group java-tck
java-tck:
% getent group | grep java-tck
