For the same reason, we don't provide /etc/resolv.conf by default. Adding src/share/examples/etc/nsswitch.conf and installing it in /usr/share/examples/etc/ is a good idea. > Many admins=20 > may not know the system has this capability unless they see a copy of=20 > nsswitch.conf in /etc. >=20 Many admins should learn how to consult with the release notes then. ;-) Cheers, --=20 Ruslan Ermilov Sysadmin and DBA, ru@sunbay.com Sunbay Software Ltd, ru@FreeBSD.org FreeBSD committer --LZvS9be/3tNcYl/X Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/RjwMUkv4P6juNwoRAlbXAJ9n//XhgDOYbkT29jX/Oxq0b2NIHACfeR5s lwofof0Bb6efchG2OSoD4Bw= =JtqA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --LZvS9be/3tNcYl/X--
