Vidrine" , freebsd-arch@freebsd.org Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i X-Url: http://www.nectar.com/ Sender: owner-freebsd-arch@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, Patches adding nsswitch support to FreeBSD 4.1-RELEASE, 4-STABLE, and 5-CURRENT can be found at: http://www.nectar.com/freebsd/nsswitch I would like to commit this support to -CURRENT in about a week or so. I'd appreciate a review of the patch. This brings over nsswitch functionality from NetBSD. /etc/nsswitch.conf controls lookups for group, hosts, networks, passwd, and shells databases. Database sources may be files, dns (Hesiod), nis, or a compat mode (using +/- in passwd and group databases) that uses nis or dns. You can see the man page linked from URL above.
