[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-7147) setnetgrent in native code is not portable

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7147?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13198538#comment-13198538 ] 

Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-7147:
------------------------------------------

It's still an issue in the code sense, but not an issue in the priority sense.  Probably better to just close as won't fix since portability isn't a concern for the project.

> HADOOP-6864 uses the setnetgrent function in a way which is not compatible with BSD APIs, where the call returns void rather than int. This prevents the native libs from building on OSX, for example.
