[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-7147) Native code does not build on BSD/OSX

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7147?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13045630#comment-13045630 ] 

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

Actually, we probably want to ignore the call anyway.  Looks like setnetgrent suffers from some really bizarro portability issues. On Linux, setnetgrent returns 1 on success.  On Solaris, it returns 0.  

There is a side issue as well, at least on Solaris, where setnetgrent() will actually reset for *all* threads that are in the midst of enumerating netgroups.  I haven't verified if this is true on Linux or other platforms.

> 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.
