You cannot fix this issue in *any libc implementation which is using NSS*. IIRC NSS is anchored in SUSv3 specification and it affects every unices libcs. *Again: this is not only Linux issue and it was one of the reasons why it is not possible to find in some unices libc.a!!!* Other reasons are like constant changes in kernel<>userspace changes on all unices are part of the problem as well. Rarely one of those two things blows into the distributions maintainers faces as *upgrades* will be affected by what must happen on those areas during every OS evolutions. It is *very easy* to *completely remove such risk*. kloczek -- Tomasz Kłoczko | LinkedIn: *http://lnkd.in/FXPWxH <http://lnkd.in/FXPWxH>*
