It's not a great idea to use passwd-file for /etc/passwd. I guess it
usually works, but there are no guarantees of random failures when the
passwd file is being modified.
You can do this better by keeping the userdb passwd, and setting:
auth_username_format = %n
Thanks Timo.
I read this as I should do:
userdb {
driver = passwd
args = auth_username_format=%n
}
That didn't work. So I guess I should have read set auth_username_format = %n
in conf.d/10-auth.conf. That works.
