[Please follow-up to only one list] Hello, I need more testers for the following! nsswitch extends the C library so that arbitrary sources may be consulted by database routines such as getpwent, gethostbyname, and so on. This implementation was based on NetBSD's implementation. I have enhanced it to make the interfaces thread safe, and to provide support for dynamically loaded nsswitch modules. Patches for 4-STABLE and 5-CURRENT are at: http://www.nectar.com/freebsd/nsswitch. Also available there are patches for PADL.COM's nss_ldap so that it may be used with FreeBSD. Incidentally this also adds reentrant versions of common routines such as getpwnam_r. Note that routines that eventually call the resolver are only as thread safe as the resolver -- i.e. not really. Please contact me with any comments/bugs/patches. Cheers, -- Jacques Vidrine / [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
