If you look closely you'll see that the reason why the structure is passed to setnetgrent is to get around the problem of having a static buffer and also to allow multi-threaded applications. I remember that the NIS stuff had some limitations but I think at least the multi-threaded use should be possible. I don't care enough about this to argue and since I won't do the implementation myself I leave it up to you. Please provide some kind of documentation about the limitations (perhaps in the FAQ). -- ---------------. ,-. 1325 Chesapeake Terrace Ulrich Drepper \ ,-------------------' \ Sunnyvale, CA 94089 USA Red Hat `--' drepper at redhat.com `------------------------
