Okay -- I've made similar changes now in getspnam.3, and I've removed the text on PAM and nsswitch.conf; ultimately, I think these details need to be (better) described somewhere else. Changes will all appear in man-pages-2.06. Cheers, Michael -- Michael Kerrisk maintainer of Linux man pages Sections 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 Want to help with man page maintenance?
