NetBSD snips 10.0_STABLE NetBSD 10.0_STABLE (GENERIC) #0: Mon Jul 8 16:08:11 MSK 2024 uwe@majava:/home/uwe/work/netbsd/cvs/src-release-10/sys/arch/macppc/compile/GENERIC macppc
>Description:
getent doesn't print trailing separator if the list of items to print
is empty.
This may be a problem, e.g.
https://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2024/11/21/3
That was reported to the wrong place, b/c getent(1) in alpine's
muls-uitls comes from alpine, not from musl, and it's an adaptation of
NetBSD's getent(1) done by tteras@
>How-To-Repeat:
$ getent group games
games:*:13
vs.
$ grep games: /etc/group
games:*:13:
which is the "traditional file format for that database".
