To be really honest I am not sure that libc is polling nsswitch. So you
might have to restart the service which calls the auth function.

Do you have any ideas of which service triggers that message ? If so,
the easiest way is to compile nss-mysql in debug mode, restart the
service and look at the messages preceding the error. Worst case, you
can just reboot the box and grep for the error.

Guillaume.
