From what I understand, there already is a set of "NSS config file" and "NSS functions file" bundled with eglibc, and that they are enough for a non-esoteric system. May be ask the user if he/she wants to use those files, or if he/she wants to use his/her own set. Something like: [*] Use an option-groups configuration file () Path to the option-groups configuration file [ ] Use bundled NSS config/functions files () Path to the NSS config file () Path to the NSS functions file That is, hide the paths to the NSS config/functions files. Also, adapt the help entries accordingly. What do you think? Regards, Yann E. MORIN. -- .-----------------.--------------------.------------------.--------------------. | Yann E.
