Looks good to me as long as you tested a wildcard in all
of the positions.

I also noticed this difference while doing netgroup testing
with and without nscd, but I'll be honest I didn't know why
there was "" or " " in the argument to be wildcarded. Now
that I've looked at the code I see why, and I expect this
probably matches what traditional unices were doing.

OK.

OK.
