This is not what I mean by multi-threaded. Concurrent execution of the same code in multiple threads is fine but not necessary. But it should be possible to use the innetgr() function in one thread and getnetgrent() in another. This is at least what is generally allowed and implemented (also for files-netgrp). From what I've seen the nis-netgr code won't allow this since the cursor is global. If this information could be moved in the struct __netgrent structure at least the case I mentioned will work. -- ---------------. ,-. 1325 Chesapeake Terrace Ulrich Drepper \ ,-------------------' \ Sunnyvale, CA 94089 USA Red Hat `--' drepper at redhat.com `------------------------
