[arch-announce] glibc 2.27-2 and pam 1.3.0-2 may require manual intervention

The new version of glibc removes support for NIS and NIS+. The default `/etc/nsswitch.conf` file provided by `filesystem` package already reflects this change. Please make sure to merge pacnew file if it exists prior to upgrade. NIS functionality can still be enabled by installing `libnss_nis` package. There is no replacement for NIS+ in the official repositories. `pam 1.3.0-2` no longer ships pam_unix2 module and `pam_unix_*.so` compatibility symlinks. Before upgrading, review PAM configuration files in the `/etc/pam.d` directory and replace removed modules with `pam_unix.so`. Users of pam_unix2 should also reset their passwords after such change. Defaults provided by `pambase` package do not need any modifications. URL: https://www.archlinux.org/news/glibc-227-2-and-pam-130-2-may-require-manual…
