Good point

However, i am not able to confirm that sshd needs nsswitch support
Also Fedora has not made sshd, or ssh server domains nsswitch domains.

Therefore i suggest we allow this for now, and then if we later
determine that sshd and ssh server domains need full nsswitch support
that we change that then instead.
