Nikola Forró 85a7acd768 nsswitch.conf.5: Update NSS compatibility mode description From the current description of NSS compatibility mode it seems that /etc/passwd is the only file where special entries are permitted. But "compat" service can also be specified for group and shadow databases, so this needs to be changed. The list of special entries is for passwd database only, group and shadow databases are not mentioned. Because group database does not support netgroup special entries and it deals with groups, not users, it is better to make a separate list of entries for it. It is true that the default source for the compat pseudo-databases is "nis", but it can be overridden by any NSS service, not just "nisplus". Even "compat" itself can be specified as the source for the pseudo-databases, but doing that of course leads to infinite recursion, so it makes sense to disallow that. The information was obtained from glibc source code, namely from the following files: nis/nss_compat/compat-pwd.c nis/nss_compat/compat-grp.c nis/nss_compat/compat-spwd.c Signed-off-by: Nikola Forró <nforro@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com>		2016-01-17 16:51:39 +01:00

README

This package contains Linux man pages for sections
2, 3, 4, 5, and 7. Some more information is given in the
`Announce' file.

Install by copying to your favourite location.
"make install" will just copy them to /usr/share/man/man[1-8].
To install to a path different from /usr use
"make install prefix=/install/path".
"make" will move the pages from this package that are older than
the already installed ones to a subdirectory `not_installed',
then remove old versions (compressed or not),
compress the pages, and copy them to /usr/share/man/man[1-8].


Note that you may have to remove preformatted pages.

Note that sometimes these pages are duplicates of pages
also distributed in other packages. This has been reported
about dlclose.3, dlerror.3, dlopen.3, dlsym.3 (found in ld.so),
about resolver.3, resolv.conf.5 (found in bind-utils),
and about passwd.5, and mailaddr.7. Be careful not to
overwrite more up-to-date versions.
Reports on further duplicates are welcome.
Formerly present and now removed duplicates:
 exports.5 (found in nfs-server-2.2*),
 fstab.5, nfs.5 (found in util-linux-2.12*),
 lilo.8, lilo.conf.5 (found in lilo-21.6*).
