Ciso: As far as I can tell it works fine as long as the wins entry isn't the final one on that line.
i.e.
hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns wins mdns4
and not
hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4 wins
However, I'm running Karmic and have no problems with the latter configuration of nsswitch. Back when I was running Jaunty though, it had to be the former line or Liferea would segfault.
