Re: bug in csih?

[Len Giambrone <Leonard dot Giambrone at intersystems dot com>]

Perhaps you want:

grep -Eq "^{file}:" /etc/nsswitch.conf && { grep -Eq 
"^${file}:[^#]*\<db\>" /etc/nsswitch.conf || use_file=0 }

Or even more simply (since the first clause is really subsumed by the 
second):

grep -Eq "^${file}:[^#]*\<db\>" /etc/nsswitch.conf || use_file=0
