The Mac OS X lookupd does aggressive caching with cache invalidation support, supports the notion of flushing the cache on certain events (like when you reconfigure your network interfaces or switch authentication plugins), and quite a few other things. No surprise, really, given that it's been around for years. Julian was asking where to find it, and for those who get lost navigating Apple's darwin site, there's also opendarwin's cvsweb interface. Darwin's "nsswitch" implementation lives in Libinfo, of which lookupd is a sub-project: http://cvs.opendarwin.org/index.cgi/src/Libinfo/ - Jordan On Mar 5, 2004, at 6:46 AM, Michael Bushkov wrote: > Hello! > What do you mean exactly by saying "not as functional"? > > Michael Bushkov > Software Engineer, > Rostov State University > > On Fri, 5 Mar 2004, Jordan K Hubbard wrote: > >> Sounds similar to, but not as functional as, the lookupd in Mac OS X. >> :) >> >> On Mar 5, 2004, at 12:45 AM, Michael Bushkov wrote: >> >>> We want you to look at this lookupd.
