Hi,
[ Originally sent to -questions, no response, so trying -hackers ]
The yp(4) manual page on my 2.1.7 system includes (under "BUGS")
The getservent(3) and getprotoent(3) functions do not yet have NIS sup-
port. Fortunately, these files don't need to be updated that often.
Is this still true? A quick eyeball through the source in
/usr/src/lib/libc/net/getservent.c
shows what look like appropriate YP functions, and quick tests with my
/etc/services file seem to show that the '+' token in /etc/services
*is* recognised and acted upon.
If someone more knowledgable than me could confirm this is the case, I'll
submit patches to the appropriate documentation (since it looks like
-current, based on
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/share/man/man4/yp.4
has the same wrong information).
