FreeBSD doesn't come with a getent program. I was able to compile OpenSolaris' getent on FreeBSD with minimal problems, though. You'll have to remove support for ipnodes, project, and netmasks since those are Solaris-specific, remove the gettext code, and you'll need to provide a "putpwent" function (I used /usr/src/usr.sbin/pw/pwupd.c:fmtpwentry() instead ). http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/usr/src/cmd/getent/ > How can I verify that linux libraries have been installed?

Are you really sure you need a "getent" command? -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
