Yes, i vote for this one!  Since you provide a patch, i just want to say
that if the `getent' command finally reach the FreeBSD tree, my old PR
bin/79903 requesting this particular inclusion (but without a patch) may
be closed too.  FYI, the proposed modifications seems ok on both RELENG_6
and -CURRENT machines (tested in a local[1] environment).  Thank you very
much, Dan.

I only verified that it works with both NIS and LDAP on 5.4 systems,
but I would be surprised if there were any problems on other versions.
It uses standard lookup functions.

Yes, works great on a RELENG_6 desktop using NIS and LDAP repositories.
