So, just to clarify for the sake of the archives, the two NSS have not a lot in common. The NSS thing allegedly needed for Samba is only in -CURRENT AFAIK and has no ports. Some people already said earlier that FreeBSD's NSS implementation (see /etc/nsswitch.conf and its man page) leave things to be desired. Look under the archives with "nsswitch.conf" as your keyword. The "other" NSS that is the port quoted above, is actually the crypto services library from the Mozilla project (as the www.mozilla.org reference could have made it blindingly obvious:-) which builds on top of NSPR (also in the ports:-) and provides security services to the PSM module of Mozilla/NS6 (the above two acronyms stand for Netscape Portable Runtime and Personal Security Manager, respectively). It could also be used for your own programs, however, provided that the licensing suits you. And yes, acronym overload is rampant:-) probably because namespace pollution is a common problem in programming:-) -- Regards: Szilveszter ADAM Szombathely Hungary To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
