Hello, some notes about NetBSD libc: it supports nsswitch for a long time, see here: http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?nsswitch.conf++NetBSD-current Dynamically loaded NSS modules are not supported. To David Brownlee: I doubt NetBSD 1.0 binary could run against a NetBSD 1.6 libc. They don't care much about binary compatibility. You could not even run a statically linked 1.0 app without some COMPAT_ option in the kernel, I think. And, if there are things like funopen(), why do Gnome hackers invent their own APIs like gnome-vfs? Does somebody actually use funopen()? Does it really work?
