Hi,

obviously there is a reason for setpassent() being deprecated I'm
wondering what is the best thing to do to port an application from
Linux to FreeBSD that uses the fgetpwent() function that allows you
to specify an alternate password database to read from.

What other alternatives to setpassent() exist? Curiosity also brings
me to ask why setpassent() is deprecated (which may answer the
former question as well).

Regards,
