Hello, I have been playing around with nss and libc this weekend to find ways to make nss_ldap work more efficiently by coupling getgrouplist (3) with _nss_ldap_initgroups_dyn. I discovered that making getgrouplist(3) play with nss was impossible without creating a new API. By coincidence I found that NetBSD has created the infrastructure needed to make this a reallity allready! In NetBSD getgrouplist(3) is now a front-end for getgroupmembership(3). http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-userlevel/2004/12/01/0001.html Is there any chance for FreeBSD to get an updated import of NSS from NetBSD anytime soon? :-) Frode Nordahl frode@nordahl.net
