Lol that advice might not be so useful if you can't run anything as
root. Here is a default /etc/default/nss below... all comments. I
guess you can rename you existing /etc/default/nss and just do
touch /etc/default/nss
and maybe things can be happier.

# /etc/default/nss
# This file can theoretically contain a bunch of customization variables
# for Name Service Switch in the GNU C library. For now there are only two
# variables:
#
# NETID_AUTHORITATIVE
# If set to TRUE, the initgroups() function will accept the information
# from the netid.byname NIS map as authoritative. This can speed up the
# function significantly if the group.byname map is large. The content
# of the netid.byname map is used AS IS. The system administrator has
# to make sure it is correctly generated.
#NETID_AUTHORITATIVE=TRUE
#
# SERVICES_AUTHORITATIVE
# If set to TRUE, the getservbyname{,_r}() function will assume
# services.byservicename NIS map exists and is authoritative, particularly
# that it contains both keys with /proto and without /proto for both
# primary service names and service aliases. The system administrator
# has to make sure it is correctly generated.
#SERVICES_AUTHORITATIVE=TRUE
