Bug#590099: man page not consistent with --help



Package: libc6
Version: 2.7-18lenny2
Severity: normal

Hello Maintainer,

The output of "getent --help" is not consistent with the manpage and the
option "--service=CONFIG" is not explained, nor the format of the config
file.

Also it would be nice, if the "DATABASE" could be arbitary and not  only

    ahosts ahostsv4 ahostsv6 aliases ethers group hosts netgroup
    networks passwd protocols rpc services shadow

I have for example a flat database file "nfsservers" which  contain  the
USER/nfsserver maping like

    michelle.konzack:x:samba3.private.tamay-dogan.net

which I use instead of a huge database.

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
    Michelle Konzack
