I just had a look into this again.

I'm wondering a bit about getgrgid_r and getgrnam_r.  As you noted
below, we have getpwnam_r and getpwuid_r so why did nobody implement
the group functions so far?  Weird.

Which actually leaves rand_r.  readdir_r is using the getdent interface
which we don't have.  Our readdir is a home brew which implies that we
need our own readdir_r implementation.

Yes, I've added rand_r to the list of exports and implemented ttyname_r
as a start.

I'm also positivly hoping for volunteers implementing getgrgid_r,
getgrnam_r, getlogin_r and readdir_r.


Thanks,
