Hi,

Patches adding nsswitch support to FreeBSD 4.1-RELEASE, 4-STABLE, and
5-CURRENT can be found at:
    http://www.nectar.com/freebsd/nsswitch

I would like to commit this support to -CURRENT in about a week or so.
I'd appreciate a review of the patch.

This brings over nsswitch functionality from NetBSD.  /etc/nsswitch.conf
controls lookups for group, hosts, networks, passwd, and shells
databases.  Database sources may be files, dns (Hesiod), nis, or a
compat mode (using +/- in passwd and group databases) that uses nis or
dns.  You can see the man page linked from URL above.

Cheers,
