says we must install nss. I have done:
guix package -i nss
on my common user. But I do not know how to start the service. Is this
package really necessary? If it is, must it be on root and not on a
normal user? Or should it be installed from the foreign distro's repos?

Hola Quiliro,

Note that it says you must install nscd (part of the GNU C Library), not
“nss”, and you must install it from your host distro.

If you’re using Debian or a derivative, you’ll have to run:

  sudo apt-get install nscd

and that’s it.

HTH!

You should install this from the foreign distro's repo. Package name is
most probably something like nscd.
