I first saw nsswitch.conf on Solaris. And lo-and-behold:
"Sun Microsystems <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Microsystems> first
developed NSS for their Solaris
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solaris_%28operating_system%29> operating
system, but subsequently programmers ported it to many other operating
systems including FreeBSD <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeBSD>,
NetBSD <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetBSD>, Linux
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux>, HP-UX
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP-UX>, IRIX
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRIX> and AIX
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AIX_operating_system>."

How true that is, I'd love to know.
