Package: libnss-db Version: 2.2.3pre1-2 Severity: wishlist Quoting package description:
nss_db is a set of C library extensions which allow Berkeley Databases to be used as a primary source of aliases, ethers, groups, hosts, networks, protocol, users, RPCs, services, and shadow passwords (instead of or in addition to using flat files or NIS). But README says: Currently the module support the `aliases', `ethers', `group', `netgroup', `protocols', `passwd', `rpc', `services' and `shadow' databases. And indeed, the code contains no support for `hosts` databases. Why is it so? Is there something special about /etc/hosts file, that prevents this type of nss database from being implemented in this package? -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.23-rc3-hrt2 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libnss-db depends on: ii libc6 2.6.1-1+b1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdb4.3 4.3.29-8 Berkeley v4.3 Database Libraries [ ii libselinux1 2.0.15-2+b1 SELinux shared libraries ii make 3.81-3 The GNU version of the "make" util libnss-db recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
