Update.

1998-07-24 21:29  Ulrich Drepper  <drepper@cygnus.com>

	* nscd/connections.c (pw_send_answer): Make one single writev call.
	(gr_send_answer): Do the work in two writev calls.  This change
	changes the protocol.

	* nscd/nscd_getgr_r.c (__nscd_getgr_r): Adjust for protocol change.
	We now can do the job using two readv calls.
