It's actually fairly simple to do what is needed; it's just a rather tedious and unpleasant task. What needs to be done is that the DB 1.85 API that's in libc be moved out to a separate library (call it `libdb185' or something similar). The actual code stays in libc for the use of internal libc functions (getpw* in particular) and for the NDBM emulation which SUS requires. -GAWollman To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
