Description Rachel Willmer 2004-12-14 10:10:14 UTC 
I am attempting to set up mod_backhand to work with Apache 1. Using the byHostname.c provided with the port, it compiles fine. When I run httpd with the byHostname command in httpd.conf, it crashes with the message :

Syntax error on line 116 of /home/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Shared object "nss_dns.so.1" not found, required by "httpd"

nss_dns.so.1 does not exist anywhere on the system. 

The nsswitch.conf is the default that is created at boot-time if one did not already exist.

Where do I get a copy of this file? What's the implication of just commenting all the lines in nsswitch.conf out?

How-To-Repeat: portinstall www/apache13
portinstall www/mod_backhand
Extract the distfile for mod_backhand, and follow the instructions for including byHostname as a shared module.
Include a line such as 
    BackhandFromSO libexec/byHostname.so byHostname (fraternity)
in httpd.conf
Attempt to start httpd

This is problem with mod_backhand, not with FreeBSD. You should fix it and
submit a patch to maintainer of port.

Here are examples of patches, that fix this problem in other ports:

	ports/sysutils/gkrellm/files/patch-src::plugins.c
	ports/net/samba3/files/patch-lib_module.c

From-To: freebsd-bugs->seanc

Rescue this from the 'misc' category and assign to port maintainer.

As per Glen Smirnoff's advice, here is a patch that corrects this
problem for me on FreeBSD 6.0
