Public bug reported:

affected with Ubuntu version 14.04.1 and 14.10.

If the user loggs in, he does not see his own full name (geocs).

it is also reporduceable by getent passwd $USER. usually there should be
a field containing the users full name.

if winbindd enumerates all users or winbind rpc only = yes is set, the full name is displayed.
In the first case only until the internal cache expires.

The reason is that nss info template simply does not provide this
information and resets this field, even if the values is known somewhere
else in the code path.

** Affects: samba (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Patch added: "Give a hint to the nss info backend if we know the full name. not every backend implements fetching its value (ex. template)"
