Yes, i vote for this one! Since you provide a patch, i just want to say that if the `getent' command finally reach the FreeBSD tree, my old PR bin/79903 requesting this particular inclusion (but without a patch) may be closed too. FYI, the proposed modifications seems ok on both RELENG_6 and -CURRENT machines (tested in a local[1] environment). Thank you very much, Dan. -- -jpeg. [1] i.e. without a NIS or LDAP respositories. Can do the test tomorrow though, if someone is interested.
