Erik Steffl commented on HADOOP-7147:
-------------------------------------
Proposed solution: just make a call to setnetgrent, don't make it a condition,
i.e. execute the if block (call to getnetgrent) unconditionally.
Rationale:
As far as I can tell in BSD there is no need to check the setnetgrent for
errors, there doesn't seem to be a way to check (based on what BSD man page
says) and they don't do it:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-bugs/2009-March/034497.html
I assume that it's the same way Linux API would work (if setnetgrent fails then
getnetgrent doesn't return any users) but it needs to be tested.

> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.23.0
> Reporter: Todd Lipcon

> HADOOP-6864 uses the setnetgrent function in a way which is not compatible
> with BSD APIs, where the call returns void rather than int. This prevents the
> native libs from building on OSX, for example.
