I added a small patch to the sssd nss module, preventivly calling its
internal endpwent() function, prior to setpwent(). This way I achive the
same result, the user's list ist complete now.

So, IMHO the bottom line is: it's not clear if a successive setpwent()
should imply an automatic endpwent() on the nss side.
