The following reply was made to PR misc/26486; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Gil Kloepfer <gil@arlut.utexas.edu> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: misc/26486: setnetgrent hangs when netgroup contains empty netgroup Date: Tue, 18 Jun 2002 21:36:03 -0500 (blows into mic) -- Is anyone listening out there??? This bug that I reported has been open for over a year now. I've written to the FreeBSD core team, and have gotten little response (thanks Jordan for responding, and you were a great asset to the FreeBSD core team). Now we're at 4.6 and even though I've provided a patch for the bug, code to exercise the bug, and have bugged the core team about it (back several months ago), the bug remains open and the problem still remains. I do appreciate all the hard work that the people involved with FreeBSD have expended. However, I am quite frustrated by the continued lack of response to this bug report and the recommended fix. I don't think that this one bug should cause me to have to take the time to create my own sub-release of FreeBSD 4.6. Would SOMEONE please take a look at bug misc/26486 and either incorporate the fix into the next release (unfortunately I'm too late for 4.6 and I'm about to deploy this on all our FreeBSD servers)...or after some consideration, let me know that the fix isn't the correct one. I would like to remove the hacks I've needed to put into our other tools in order to avoid tickling this problem. Thanks, as always, for your consideration. --- Gil Kloepfer - Network Support Applied Research Laboratories : The University of Texas at Austin (512) 835-3771 / gil@arlut.utexas.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
