--- Comment #4 from Robin McCorkell <robin at mccorkell.me.uk> ---
I personally don't think system configuration files (like rulesets) should be
expected to be migratable without tweaks between vendors/distributions; other
NSS databases like passwd/group affect the system as a whole, and prevent other
configuration files from being verbatim copied around. My belief is that the
tools on the system should be tied to the vendor-specific lookup databases
(services), since that is what the admin is configuring everything else with
respect to.

However, since cross-distro compability seems to be an aim of nft, I guess this
isn't an acceptable solution. Feel free to close this issue if my conclusion is
correct - I'll submit separate reports for any missing/wrong services.
