* nis/nss_nis/nis-initgroups.c (_nss_nis_initgroups_dyn): Return
NSS_STATUS_SUCCESS when done. Return NSS_STATUS_TRYAGAIN when out
of memory.
Thanks for the patch.
What about this loop exit?
if (limit > 0 && *size == limit)
/* We reached the maximum. */
goto done;
Shouldn't the caller somehow learn about truncation?
Is the internal initgroups_dyn interface used by anything else but nscd?
