Basically, I would like to know where I can find information on the nsswitch protocol (if that is even such a thing): perhaps a document or standards paper? I will be downloading -CURRENT tomorrow so I can take a look at the current nsswitch code, but is there anything you know right off hand that would help me? I'm sorry for the incompetence and don't want to clutter -hackers mailing list any more than I have too, but I don't exactly know what types of questions to even really ask you yet. If there is any general type of information you have to help the learning curve of the kernel though, I'd appreciate it. ------------------------------------------------- SIUE Web Mail To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
