Darwin's lookupd is open source, but I think it would be too much work to adapt it to FreeBSD, since it is tightly integrated with Darwin's libc and probably depends on Mach IPC primitives. I think the best bet is to write something reasonably simple from scratch and implement it as an NSS module, so that it can be installed without any changes to the rest of the system, especially without hacking libc. - Sebastian Lederer [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE+31/A3rj1BcWb4ZsRArdAAJ9PwwXqIWIqM8cpgrkTdmPq4zqkEgCdGoiH rqvVadabUlCiN4ztdxd/rDE= =2zEH -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
