            Bug ID: 16366
           Summary: nscd returns success for negative netgroup query
                    results
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.18
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: nscd
          Assignee: siddhesh at redhat dot com

A negitve result from a netgroup query does not result in a failure return code
when it is serviced through nscd.

Steps to reproduce:

For a netgroup 'foo' that does not exist:

1. service nscd stop
2. getent netgroup foo
3. echo $?
4. service nscd start
5. getent netgroup foo
6. echo $?

Actual results:

With nscd stopped, return code ($?) is 2 while with nscd running, it is 0.

Expected results:

In both cases, return code should be 2.

Patch coming up.
