The old test wrote to /etc/{passwd,group} when use_file!=1,
/etc/nsswitch.conf existed and did not have a line for either passwd or
group or if that line had no "db" on it.  If the line is missing
altogether, then files should still not be used since the default is
"files db", only when the line exists and omits "db".  I think…
