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.

#
# 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

# 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
