Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-7147:
------------------------------------------
Actually, we probably want to ignore the call anyway. Looks like setnetgrent
suffers from some really bizarro portability issues. On Linux, setnetgrent
returns 1 on success. On Solaris, it returns 0.
There is a side issue as well, at least on Solaris, where setnetgrent() will
actually reset for *all* threads that are in the midst of enumerating
netgroups. I haven't verified if this is true on Linux or other platforms.

> 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.
