If so, any hope to see a MFC ? Hello, I've only been slowly working on nsswitch this year, as I'm occupied on other projects. I intend to return to it and complete it as soon as possible. Much new work has been done, but there is quite a bit of tedium left. I will be very disappointed if I am not able to complete the work before 5.0-RELEASE. I have no plans to do a MFC of the existing implementation, because the API and functionality has changed from what I've committed to -CURRENT, and indeed from the last set of patches I publicly posted. I don't have any objections to an MFC -- after all, the current code is stable, and the API is the same as what is currently found in NetBSD. It just is not a priority for me. Most people want support for more than just files, NIS, and Hesiod.
