Hi Paul ! > The nslookup program does not do NSS lookup.
We are talking about Busybox nslookup. As Ralf mentioned it does NSS lookup. > If the busybox version of nslookup uses nsswitch.conf / ... then it's > not correct Sure ... Ralf told this already ... The Busybox nslookup is claiming to do DNS lookup but does NSS ... so the current Busybox nslookup does what upstream 'getent hosts' is providing. > Also getent does a lot more than just show hostnames. As I said > before it's a command line interface to all the get*ent() functions > in libc so in addition to hostnames it can be used to look up passwd > entries, group entries, etc. A getent applet in busybox WOULD be > very useful. Full ack! Are you able to provide a new getent applet (deleting the current nslookup)? (Sorry currently can't do development work due to personal/health restrictions).
