I think that anyone using this would expect it would take the first one returned. The same that happens right now in a "normal" system. The same name that 'ls -l' would return. We don't worry that 'ls -l' might be mapping a name that might not be unique and shouldn't here either. I realize that 'nscd' breaks that long standing assumption that order matters by returning one randomly. I consider that a bug in nscd. Bob
