The test for existence of getutent(3). See the patch concerning 'configure'. The problem is that in OpenBSD the file '<sys/types.h>' is not invoked automatically in this particular test, unlike with GNU/Linux. Thus the test fails for OpenBSD of an irrelevant reason. It will fail anyway since getutent(3) does not exist in OpenBSD, but looking at the first search hit for 'getutent' in the log file 'config.log', at present discloses a failure due to the missing header file, not due to the missing prototype under investigation. I do not now if other OS-es are touched by this deteroriation also. Regards, Mats E A
