When a user logs in, you would like the system to first check the local /etc/passwd file for a username and then check NIS. How do you implement this strategy?

What will be an ideal response?

The /etc/nsswitch.conf file controls the order in which sources are con-
sulted to fulfill a request from the system. The following entry in this file
causes the system to check /etc/passwd first and NIS second:

passwd: files nis
