Hi Anton, I agree that my use case is not usual (Native LDAP client on Solaris) and Solaris fork is doing that. I was only surprised because based on documentation NSS initialization should be done only once. Yes, in the most use cases it should not be problem because there are not many multithreaded consumers "fighting" for initialization on beginning.
