Status in libnss-extrausers package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in libnss-extrausers package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: libnss-extrausers

  If any /var/lib/extrausers/group entry has a gid < 500 then all
  entries from this file are ignored. libnss-extrausers-0.4 is affected
  as well.

  The following file works fine, the entries appear in 'getent group'
  output.

  extra0:x:500
  extra1:x:501

  This file however is not read properly, the entries are missing in
  output.

  extra0:x:499
  extra1:x:501

  The system in question is Ubuntu 10.04, libc6 version is
  2.13-0ubuntu13
