Title:
  nsswitch.conf "passwd" entry misses "systemd", breaking
  DynamicUser=yes systemd units

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The 321-1~bpo22.04.1 version of cockpit-ws calls the cockpit user "cockpit-wsinstance":
  $ cat usr/lib/sysusers.d/cockpit-wsinstance.conf
  u cockpit-wsinstance - "User for cockpit-ws instances" -

  However the following systemd files still reference the old "cockpit-ws" username, so the service fails to start:
  $ grep -r cockpit-ws$ lib/systemd/system
  lib/systemd/system/cockpit-ws-user.service:Description=Dynamic user for cockpit-ws
  lib/systemd/system/cockpit-ws-user.service:User=cockpit-ws
  lib/systemd/system/cockpit-ws-user.service:Group=cockpit-ws
  lib/systemd/system/cockpit-wsinstance-https at .socket:SocketUser=cockpit-ws
  lib/systemd/system/cockpit-wsinstance-https-factory.socket:SocketUser=cockpit-ws
  lib/systemd/system/cockpit.service:User=cockpit-ws
  lib/systemd/system/cockpit.service:Group=cockpit-ws
  lib/systemd/system/cockpit-wsinstance-http.socket:SocketUser=cockpit-ws

  Can these systemd files be updated to use the new username? Thanks!
