Hi Carsten,

I used to set it (long time ago) with nwamcfg (and nwamadm) utilities, 
for example:

$ find /etc/nwam/ -type f -name nsswitch.conf
/etc/nwam/loc/User/nsswitch.conf
/etc/nwam/loc/Legacy/nsswitch.conf

$ nwamcfg list
NCPs:
         Automatic
         e1000g0_dhcp
         e1000g0_static
         rge0_dhcp
         rge0_static
Locations:
         Automatic
         NoNet
         User

$ nwamadm list -x -p loc
TYPE        PROFILE        STATE          AUXILIARY STATE
loc         Automatic      online         active
loc         NoNet          offline        conditions for activation are 
unmet
loc         User           disabled       disabled by administrator

Maybe there is better way, but this one still works...

With best regards.
