* Implementing 'fallback' nsswitch source. 'fallback' source is usedbushman2007-12-121-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | when particular function can't be found in nsswitch-module. For example, getgrouplist(3) will use module-supplied 'getgroupmembership' function (which can work in an optimal way for such source as LDAP) and will fall back to the stanard iterate-through-all-groups implementation otherwise.

Modules are loaded/initialized at configuration time (i.e. when nsdispatch is called and nsswitch.conf is read or re-read). = Make the nsdispatch(3) core thread-safe. = New status code for nsdispatch(3) `NS_RETURN', currently used to signal ERANGE-type issues. = syslog(3) problems, don't warn/err/abort. = Try harder to avoid namespace pollution. = Implement some shims to assist in porting NSS modules written for the GNU C Library nsswitch interface.

configure FreeBSD so that various databases such as passwd and group can be looked up using flat files, NIS, or Hesiod. = Hesiod has been added to libc (see hesiod(3)). = A library routine for parsing nsswitch.conf and invoking callback functions as specified has been added to libc (see nsdispatch(3)). = The following C library functions have been modified to use nsdispatch: . getgrent, getgrnam, getgrgid . getpwent, getpwnam, getpwuid . getusershell . getaddrinfo . gethostbyname, gethostbyname2, gethostbyaddr . getnetbyname, getnetbyaddr . getipnodebyname, getipnodebyaddr, getnodebyname, getnodebyaddr = host.conf has been removed from src/etc. rc.network has been modified to warn that host.conf is no longer used at boot time. In addition, if there is a host.conf but no nsswitch.conf, the latter is created at boot time from the former. Obtained from: NetBSD
