You can still benefit, I hope.  Even when using only the local SAM, the
process startups should be a tad bit faster than when every exec'ed
process has to read /etc/passwd and /etc/group files:

  $ cat > /etc/nsswitch.conf <<EOF
  passwd: db
  group: db
  EOF
  $ exit
  <restart your terminal>

Give it a try!

Thank you very much!  I started to implement this stuff in January 2014
and the formal release will hopefully be in January 2015, so, yes, all
in all, it was a lot of work.  Especially the documentation :}
