Right. In the meantime hosts has been implemented in nss-pam-ldapd but
currently does not work (at least on 9). It's been the author's concern
too whether services/protocols etc is a needed feature, but I guess you
won't find that out until you provide the feature. At least it seems
logical to me to keep the nss_compat interface synchronized with the
APIs that call nsdispatch. I guess I'll make patches for both.

 Hi,

 I'm currently implementing support for more NSS databases in
 net/nss-pamd-ldapd and I've started to wonder why there's only the group
 and password support in lib/libc/net/nss_compat.c?

 Is there a specific reason for it or is this a classic case of patches
 welcome? I wasn't able to determine the reason from the commit log.
