When we do get one, it would likely be optional, however. Some NSS modules already do their own caching; and also sometimes the complexity is not needed. In any case, the internal libc interfaces must stablize before we can move forward. It would be nice to have something for FreeBSD 5.2. Cheers, -- Jacques A.
