These errors are normal. If the user process does not
have the root rights, you will see these messages. 

To compare it with the file behavior, it is just doing
'cat /etc/shadow' as a regular user, you'll receive 'Permission
Denied'.

If you find these messages in your log, you just know that 
someone tried to call the shadow NSS API without being root.

Hope it answers your question. Don't hesitate to tell me
if it does not.

Regards,

Guillaume.
