services: nscd: Enable ‘passwd’ and ‘group’ caches by default.
This allows users to specify NSS plugins such as LDAP via the
‘name-services’ field of <nscd-configuration>. Failing that, user code
will dlopen whatever passwd/group plugins are listed in
/etc/nsswitch.conf, which is likely to fail, typically because those are
not in $LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
* gnu/services/base.scm (%nscd-default-caches): Add ‘passwd’ and ‘group’
caches.
