The manual says this: 2.6.2 Name Service Switch ------------------------- When using Guix on a foreign distro, we _strongly recommend_ that the system run the GNU C library=E2=80=99s =E2=80=9Cname service cache daem= on=E2=80=9D, =E2=80=98nscd=E2=80=99, which should be listening on the =E2=80=98/var/run/nscd/socket=E2=80=99= socket. Failing to do that, applications installed with Guix may fail to look up host names or user accounts, or may even crash. Could you check that NSCD is in fact available and running? --=20 Ricardo
