Hello,
I installed libnss-extrausers today, because I want to sync additional {passwd,group,shadow} with a nfs or rsync server.
I want the extrausers to change their passwords with the default tools. Ubuntu has a module pam_extrausers, which is basicly a copy of pam_unix but it looks at /var/lib/extrausers/{passwd,shadow,group}.

My wish: please add this module to debian

for now it works for me with the pam_extrausers.so from ubuntu..
