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?

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.

Hi!
I installed Guix on Fedora 38 using a package in the COPR Fedora
repository. Everything seems to be working great except that I found out
that nscd is deprecated for Fedora. The manual states that this service
needs to be enabled or else the system might crash. Is this still an issue?
I did some web searches; messages posted around the time of the Fedora
deprecation of nscd did not point a clear path forward.
Should I worry?
Thanks! afm

n=1, but I've run Guix on Arch Linux without nscd for several months and
had no apparent issues.
In fact, nscd was recently removed from Arch Linux, so alternatives to
nscd should be mentioned if something like nscd is still required. For
example I believe sssd was floated as a nscd replacement at some point.
